On Friday, December 8th, every student from K-4th grade participated in one Hour of Code in their regular ed classrooms. As far as the students were concerned, it was an overwhelming success! Students wanted to keep coding once the hour was up. The hour started with an "unplugged" activity where they were coding without computers and then moved onto coding ons such sites as Code.org, Kodable, Tynker and Scratch. Students...and teachers...were completely engaged and had so much fun. Enjoy some of the pictures from the Hour of Code at Point Road! |
A quote from Steve Jobs seems appropriate here...
"Everybody in this country should learn how to code a computer...because it teaches you how to think." |
