A2. My first step was to start coding myself. I felt so inept at first, using Tynker at a novice level. #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Mar 28 @ 1:16 PM EDT

A2. Our school started with an Hour of Code. Then it moved to a club offering and now it is done in the regular computer class. #ETCoaches

We started using it in TAG and then K-5 technology classes using https://t.co/pH6bthrg7c as well as Hour of Code. #ETCoaches

mrfriederich Mar 28 @ 1:20 PM EDT

Coding takes a "growth" mindset for sure! #ETcoaches

hurricanemaine Mar 28 @ 1:21 PM EDT

A3: Getting students to realize that all the problem solving we do is computational thinking. Using different terminology helps. #ETcoaches

Katie_M_Ritter - Moderator Mar 28 @ 1:21 PM EDT

#ETCoaches Q3a: I think teachers struggle to see how they could implement coding (outside of CS classes)...

Katie_M_Ritter - Moderator Mar 28 @ 1:22 PM EDT

#ETCoaches Q3b: What helped ME understand was having other teachers (all subjects/grades) share their lessons & how they implement concepts

lvcoulter Mar 28 @ 1:22 PM EDT

A3: I'm having a little trouble answering these questions without clear examples of the computational thinking or shared vocab. #etcoaches

gilmorega - Moderator Mar 28 @ 1:22 PM EDT

A3 Many think that coding means jumping into the deep end of computer programming and has no application outside of CS #ETCoaches

MrsMHenning - Moderator Mar 28 @ 1:22 PM EDT

A2a #ETCoaches - Getting teachers on board! And finding time to train and implement. Once one teacher got excited - it spread!

amacd Mar 28 @ 1:22 PM EDT

#ETCoaches We have met challenges bec. we didn't have a CS teacher. Overcame by myself (coach) & lib teaching it -Love it!

In reply to @JBR_Kleinmann

Katie_M_Ritter - Moderator Mar 28 @ 1:22 PM EDT

#ETCoaches totally agree! "Coding" sounds so scary when you don't understand. Let's shift how we talk about it & other tasks in class!

hurricanemaine Mar 28 @ 1:21 PM EDT

A3: Getting students to realize that all the problem solving we do is computational thinking. Using different terminology helps. #ETcoaches

shoemap - Moderator Mar 28 @ 1:23 PM EDT

A3. Many view it as an add-on, where really coding helps Ss learn to think, so it pertains to all subject areas. #ETCoaches

In reply to @shoemap

hurricanemaine Mar 28 @ 1:25 PM EDT

A3: Instead of procedure use the term algorithm. Practice thinking steps needed to complete any task including in subject area. #ETcoaches

JBR_Kleinmann Mar 28 @ 1:26 PM EDT

#etcoaches Here is my favorite question.
