Monthly Tech Tidbits
You don't know what you don't know...
Welcome and Thanks for Clicking!
This Month's Topics:
Hour of Code
The Hour of Code is a global movement by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries through a one-hour introduction to computer science and computer programming.
During the week of December 3rd - 9th, students across the world will be taking part in the Hour of Code. Will you?
Below I'm linking sites that will get you and your class started - and don't worry - you don't have to know ANYTHING about coding to participate.
