MCSD ED TECH NEWS
Keeping you up to date on the latest educational technology.
CoDiNg @ MCSD
Thank you for finding the time to expose our students to the world of Computer Coding! I have heard from numerous educators and staff about how much the students enjoyed it. Some of our kiddos only get the chance to experience these types of activities within our walls and I applaud you for offering them this time! If you have any photos or video, feel free to pass them onto me so that I can use them on our website.
