Scratch - getting started with coding - 5 views

  •  
    An oldie, but a goodie! Scratch is a free tool designed to support the development of coding skills. Available in 40+ languages and aimed at students aged 8 and up. Students can program their own interactive stories, games, and animations - and share their creations with others in the online community.

    My y1s are really enjoying Scratchjr, great for younger children, and as it's a free app it's good for the school budget too.
  •  
    My 5 year old daughter loves Scratch Jr. She had a tutorial from us initially, but was able to use the software independently very quickly, to her own delight.
  •  
    I as a teacher love scratch. And of course for the students too, scratch is fun way of learning.
  •  
    I am began teaching coding this semester in my computer lab. I haven't played with scratch too much but look forward to using with my kids next week.
  •  
    I have used the computer version of Scratch with students in grades 3-6 (in Australia). My colleagues were amazed when students produced maze games where if the player bumped into the maze walls they were returned to the start - little did they know how easy it was once we got the hang of the coding. Great stuff.

    Actually there is also a new curriculum for Scratch with worksheets: http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/guide/download.html It has also been translated into several languages. This is a very helpful tool if you want to start introducing programming to a class. I have been using it now twice, and I am happy with the outcome. In particular the worksheets are so helpful and give you more time to support the individual child.

    I have use code.org as an introduction before using scratch. It allows the children participate it in games involving angry birds, plants vs zombies, flappy birds and the disney frozen characters.

    This 20-hour course introduces core computer science and programming concepts. The course is designed for use in classrooms for grades K-8, but it is fun to learn at all ages.

    i use http://www.codecademy.com/ to learn myself ... and for the kids http://www.tynker.com/

    There is also scratch.mit.edu/ , fantastic for computer programming. Hopscotch and Tynker are iPad applications that you can use, they are free. I agree code.org is fantastic, the hour of code occurs in December.
  •  
    I've used http;//www.codeacademy.com too and I know locally its used by secondary schools to teach coding for students. Its a fantastic tool.

Code Club World - 5 views

  •  
    A worldwide network of coding clubs for children aged 9-11. I use ready to go Scratch projects from this site to help run my coding club, however it is also great as classroom support or enrichment.

    my kids love making the robots dance on the robot boogie challenge! I would have suggested this myself. It's interesting to watch them switch from the sliders to inputting numbers, adjusting and checking the results.

Coding in the Classroom: A Problem Solving Framework - 9 views

  •  
    Learning to code means stepping out of your comfort zone, dealing with frustration, and leaning into discomfort.
  •  
    https://scratch.mit.edu/ I saw this website where children can animate few cartoons. It can work as a prelude to learn coding. Here coding is very simple like jump 4 times or move three steps.
  •  
    It could be useful even in schools that teaches thinking skills classes.
