Day 1, brought to you in partnership with code.org: After the impressive success of the Hour of Code, Code.org extended the activities into a complete K-5 curriculum. All the activities are developed by K-5 educators with an eye to engaging young learners. This course will be an introduction to aspects of the curriculum (including both the Online and Unplugged elements of the course). The materials are free, include detailed lesson plans (including ties to the standards) and really engage students! Come join us for a full day of Professional Development! (PS-We have swag bags!) . This is a bring your own device event…you will need it to test out the curriculum!
Day 2 focuses on grades 6-8, thanks to the Digital Promise Grant from ODE: In this session we will be expanding on themes and lessons from the original Code.org training you have attended this year (or the previous day)! In particular, we are going to look at updated and new lessons created by Code.org (including Course 4 and the Middle School Course offerings). We will continue the TLO model and also look at extensions outside of what is provided by Code.org (exploring iPad apps and board games that encourage programmatic thinking in students).
Graduate Credit option still in process for some locations
