Today’s Overall Goal

We hope to provide you with hands-on experiences to be ready to host your own

Hour of Code

with your students!

What is COding?

In the simplest terms,

coding is telling a computer

what you want it to do

There are many different types of coding languages (HTML, JavaScript, Blockly, Swift)

Why COding?

• Promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Reinforces logic and sequence
• Provides exposure to coding syntax and vocabulary (algorithm, loops, events, debugging)
• Hopefully teach our students to create technology instead of just consume it

​

Anyone can Teach it!

• You don't need to be a computer programmer to teach programming
• You just have to be open to letting your students be exposed to the world of coding
• To them, they will think they are playing a game, but you can add academic vocabulary and much more!

​

​

Lots of Resources

• There are TONS of resources out there to teach coding. Here are links to just a few resources you could use:
• Code.org (PK & up)
• Kodable (PK- 5th)
• Scratch and Scratch JR App
• Hopscotch (3rd & up)
• Daisy the Dinosaur (PK-3rd)

(Click the arrow to jump to slides for that resource!)

HOur of Code

• Let’s explore possible activities you can use with your students
• Introduction to Computer Science as the study of computers. We program computers using code.
• Show an Hour of Code video
• Model activity and let your students explore and learn about coding
• Now we’ll model some of this for you

The HOur of Code is Here!

This week, all across the world

students are getting the opportunity to learn a new skill called programming! Programming is the language that computers read. When we program, we use code. Today, you will get the chance to practice programing through using code!
