Coding, Video Game Design and App Development – A teacher’s thoughts “Giving His Students The Advantage” – Lance Gerodias of Charter Oak High School – a National Academy Foundation NAF School

February 18, 2018

We caught up with Lance at Charter Oak High School, in Covina, California and asked him about his experiences with teaching coding. Charter Oak High School is a National Academy Foundation NAF school and Lance teaches in their BETA program. The two CTeLearning.com courses, that Lance teaches, are also industry certification courses. This has paid off big time for COHS. Charter Oak owns the bragging rights for having the most high school graduates with industry certifications in Coding for Video Game Design and Mobile Application Coding and Development in the state of California. This has brought some much-deserved attention to Mr. Gerodias and the BETA program at COHS.

BTW – Lance’s students are on track to have another great year of earning industry credentials. In Just a few minutes of hanging out with Lance, you can see why his students love his classes.

Our whole Dev Team would like to extend our congratulations to COHS, its students and especially Lance G. for all their continued success.

The CTeLearning.com courses Mr. Gerodias uses are:
