To Prepare.....
- Check out the tutorials and activites from the code.org website.
- Decide which one(s) you'd like to use.
- Decide WHEN you will incorporate activities! (Doesn't have to be that week - can be broken into smaller sessions over more days)
- Test the tutorials on the same devices students will use to make sure they work (including video and sound.)
- Sign up for a lab or a cart of devices if you need to.
- Communicate with students and families about this exciting opportunity via newsletters, announcements, Remind notices, Twitter, etc.
- Contact Julie Alano (jalano@hse.k12.in.us) no later than December 1, if you are interested in having a high school student support you in your classroom during your event! There are programming students that would love to assist you!
