Tech Resource of the Week
Join us for an HOUR OF CODE!
How can it work in your classroom?
During the week of December 9th through the 15th teachers will choose ONE HOUR to dedicate to the Hour of Code (There is not a specific hour for the Hour of Code- it can take place anytime throughout the week and can be broken up into multiple periods of time).
A great activity for your inquiry time!
Students as young as kindergarten can participate in Hour of Code!
It is recommended that teachers look through the activities and decide which looks best for their students.
Go to https://hourofcode.com/us/learn and filter by grade level, educator experience, student experience, technology, topic, activity, length or language!
Teachers can complete the activity in their classrooms as a whole class using student Chromebooks.
There is no set-in-stone way to complete Hour of Code! Teachers can choose activities on the Chromebooks, or even “unplugged” activities that include no technology at all! (Bee-Bots are coding too!)
Teachers can offer students a choice, assign one tutorial for everyone, have coding “stations” with different applications, partner with an older/younger classroom, have students work independently or in pairs, etc.
All Hour of Code activities are self-guided and do not require accounts/signing in/signing up for activities.
Share some stats to build the excitement!
