Using CODE.ORG

1/11/2014

CODE.ORG was recently updated and some cool activities for students to use have been added to the site. The site shows students in an easy to understand format how simple computer codes are made. There is no prior knowledge needed to use the site which is nice.  The students start off by programming an Angry Bird how to move on a pre-made board. The activities start off easy and gradually increase in difficulty.  The students can work at their own pace an track their progress at the top of the page. At first all of my students found this to be fun and exciting. As the 80 min. class passed about 25% of the students started losing interest. An estimated 5% were truly hooked and stayed after with me to continue using the website.  I believe it was well worth the time to introduce computer programming to the entire class even though only 5% were truly interested.  I say this because now they know if programming is something they may want to do for a career. My experience using their site was a great. I would advise that this be an hour long activity for middle school level and maybe two hours at the high school level. Please share your experience by commenting. www.code.org

Recently I made a page that is full of useful information for new Technology teachers. This is a good read for those who are in the process or just starting your teaching career.  This page was written based on my experiences over the last 13 years of teaching technology education in CNY.  I hope you can take away something useful from it.
