7 Apps for Teaching Children Coding Skills | Edutopia - 1 views

    The article says coding is "thinking and planning in order to make things happen"...the link for the quotes from the country's leaders (Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Sheryl Sandberg, etc.) all reference "learning how to write a computer program" I wonder if computer programming will be part of the Middle or High School curriculum eventually.

    I liked the progression in the use of technology. Here is another way I thought the lesson could be ramped up and use technology to it's maximum potential... Have students discover landmarks or fun facts about a certain capital and then take virtual tour of that city via Google Earth. Students could take screen shots of the landmarks and write one or two sentences about each one.

    We are right to question the value of technology--especially depending on how it is used. Is it being used because we are told to use it, or is it adding value to instruction? More importantly, are students thinking and feeling more deeply? Some technology is not used to enrich the educational experience.

    I compared the two sheets. Existing lesson has the students contacting specific people like state leaders and global peers, or other students. The 2nd page which "ramps it up" suggests actively seeking out the opinions and knowledge of others and publishing work on the web. But maybe it's OK to limit the contacts the students are making. Or does safety/security matter anymore?

    I think that the idea of global learning through technology can be directly applied to the world language classroom. Language learning is really about communication (and the ability to communicate with others around the world), and the integration of technology into the classroom can allow students to form connections with other students throughout the world. I would love to start a twitter interaction with 3rd and 4th grade students and a class in Spain!

    Interesting new concept for sharing images. The videos in the article are worth watching. I kept going to read an article about making power points. I copied and pasted the following: "That means jamming 37 bullets and 3 key ideas on each slide is essentially pointless. Instead, focus on finding one killer quote to capture the imagination of your audience. In our sample slide, I wanted to reinforce the idea that we live in a visual world. That means appealing to the eyes is essential for anyone who wants to be remembered. Notice that my quote is more of a hint than a statement. That will surprise my audience - and a surprised audience pays attention."
