The mission of #TynkerChat: Are we adequately preparing students for an unknown future? Can we, through community and sharing, make this unknown “known?” Let us lift up the conversation about making sure that when our students enter the workforce- they have the skills to thrive.
#TynkerChat will be held every Monday, starting March 13th.
We'll be using the typical Q & A format! Join the conversation! First question in 2 min! This week we're reflecting on the #HourofCode. What did your kids make? What did we accomplish? Follow along on our @participate page here: https://t.co/JZuKChEIBf#Tynkerchat
Q1 #HourofCode brought schools together from all over the world for one mission: coding! Did you see any evidence of schools connecting with other kids or with people from the coding community? #TynkerChat
A2: My "aha" moment was about skills vs. creation. Going forward- I might like students to focus on content creation vs. simply going through a lesson. #TynkerChat
A2 my biggest AHA moments were seeing how my 6th graders, who have been using Tynker for only a few months, were able to guide 1st and 2nd graders through Tynker #HoC lessons so beautifully!#TynkerChat
A2: We have some cool integrated content projects in the works- poetry, MLK timelines, butterflies, & having kids animate their 4th grade inventions focusing on the circuitry of their creations. Very excited! #TynkerChat
A4: I would love to have my 6th graders collaborate monthly with the 1st and 2nd graders they mentored during #HoC and work on more in-depth projects. I would also love to get more teachers coding in the classroom! #Tynkerchat
