- Q1 Share: Ideas for engaging ALL students in the #hourofcode. #kidscancode
A1: allowing a creative choice to all students coding adventures allows them to connect with coding how they feel comfortable #kidscancode- @teach1tech What are some ways you give kids choices? What activities will you be doing? #kidscancode
- @KristyManuel @codeorg Great that you'll have another adult with you! How did you get parents involved? #kidscancode
- A1 Provide options for activities & support for all students to try coding at their own level! Failure is okay! Model it! #kidscancode
- @kodable allowing for some "tech challenges, apps, hands on material act., games w/ movement" to find one that connects w/ all #kidscancode
- @mshorsma What options will you give kids? #kidscancode
Hey everyone. #kidscancode
A1: Planning on Kodable w/K, The Foos w/1st, ScratchJr w/2nd, http://Code.org StarWars or Minecraft w/3-8 most likely. #kidscancode- A1: Now in it's 3rd year, some of my Ss have done #HourOfCode many times. I'm excited that @Minecraft is now part of @codeorg!! #kidscancode
- #kidscancode Q2 up in a minute!
- Q2 Agree/Disagree: It is possible to sustain #coding engagement (Ss and Ts!) after the #hourofcode. Why/why not? #kidscancode
- Our TK/Kinder iPads have @kodable #DaisytheDino @ScratchJr #beebot & some are starting @codeorg course 1 #kidscancode
- A1: Overly simplified answer? but http://code.org is accessible. Easy transition 2 Scratch. #kidscancode
- A2: Absolutely but I think you need to move into creation apps/websites for long-term engagement. #kidscancode
