Hour of Code 2018
What will you Create?
Hour of Code - Fort Thomas Elementary Schools
The Hour of Code, as an event, is designed to introduce people to computer science through coding activities. There are plenty of simple ways you can implement coding into your class. You could encourage students to try out one of the coding exercises on Code.org or Made with Code or they could check out many of the different coding apps like ScratchJR and Swift. And, of course, robots like Dash and Dot and Sphero make for some really exciting coding experiences.
This year I'm excited that Scratch has a Beta version available that we will be able to test out on the iPads in different Hour of Code activities like Animations that Can Talk and Animate an Adventure Game!
