High School Lessons and Teaching Materials
An archive of informatics lesson materials I created during academic years 2020 through 2023, while teaching at Tokyo Metropolitan Jindai High School. Some parts may be outdated, but I am sharing them as-is in the hope that they may be useful for fellow informatics teachers.
* Materials with publicly available resources are linked as “Print” etc. Items without links are kept here as records of lesson themes.
