The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics. The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. Computer Science Education Week was December 7-13, 2015, but we had our Hour of Code today! Miss Wilson, our school's technology educator, came to our classroom and introduced a few of the games that kids can play online that introduce the very basics of code. One of the games that the kids loved and would like to play at home is Kodable. You can click here to go to the web site. I'll send our class code via email so your child can play at home!
The kids spent time on the school iPads playing Kodable and a few other games. They were thoroughly engaged and all you could see was the glow of the iPad light on their faces!
At the end of the Hour of Code, Miss Wilson gave each child a certificate!
