"Hour of code in your classroom. 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." -Khan Academy

"Every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. It helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity. By starting early, students will have a foundation for success in any 21st-century career path." -Code.org  

Computer Science Education week is December 5-9, and we will be participating in the Hour of Code!

Seesaw: Next Steps

There are lots of new tools available to teachers now that we have Seesaw for Schools (SE only).  We will look at how to push assignments out to students, how to tag work with skills (or standards) and using the private teacher folder.  We will also look at the built in blog, and explore possibilities for using the blog to connect with classrooms around the world.
