Sorry #ADEchat, @HouseofCards released today 😉 choises...😇

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:01 PM EDT

Good evening ADEs! - lets kick off this evening’s #adechat with Q1…

mevr_verstappen May 30 @ 3:03 PM EDT

Still very busy correcting my central exams. Hope to join later #ADEchat

deepexperience1 May 30 @ 3:04 PM EDT

Hi @adesignedu & Joe - this is Greg in the U.K. #ADEchat

Hi @Joe_Moretti this is Liesbeth from Roermond. #adechat

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:06 PM EDT

Q1: SPG has been a ride this year! My pupils in teh coding group really enjoyedt. They loved solving the puzzle #adechat

deepexperience1 May 30 @ 3:06 PM EDT

A1 I've done quite a bit work with local primary schools usingSwidt Playgrounds - helped develop basic coding confidence #adechat

katigori May 30 @ 3:06 PM EDT

Call me a pedant, 🤔 but #adechat starts at 8PM BST or UK time in summer not GMT. 😁

MarkvandeMortel May 30 @ 3:06 PM EDT

Are there those moments in @HouseofCards 😳 #ADEchat is great, have fun!

LadyWesner May 30 @ 3:06 PM EDT

Hey everyone! Lindsay here from Cape Town 🇿🇦Innovation coach passionate about real learning! Also Masters student @StellenboschUni #ADEchat

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:06 PM EDT

Q1: loved that my pupils gained some grit using SPG. They really had to work at it! #adechat

jpotterx May 30 @ 3:07 PM EDT

Hi all! Haven't used SPG yet but that's due to our hardware limitations. Looks a v good package tho. #adechat

aramski May 30 @ 3:07 PM EDT

A1: still in 'computer-club' stage; it's a PYPX Coding Club, so starting small. K-5 has 1:1 iPads, for this we use 3 iPads #ADEchat

TeachMeGG May 30 @ 3:07 PM EDT

@Joe_Moretti Gerard here from Madrid. I've used SPG and @gotynker with Y6, so far so good! Very good, structured resources! #adechat

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:08 PM EDT

Just doing as I’m told! (for once) … #adechat.

In reply to @katigori

aramski May 30 @ 3:08 PM EDT

Next school year we'll scale up to the classrooms, hopefully! Looking for some good stuff tonight on #ADEchat

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:08 PM EDT

Q1: pupils reflected on their own work and said they used code thinking in other classes, like breaking up a difficult task #ADEchat

MirCWalsh May 30 @ 3:08 PM EDT

A1. SPG is the great intro to Swift and shows that Everyone Can Code. No one has yet failed to complete the initial challenges. #ADEchat

TeachMeGG May 30 @ 3:09 PM EDT

the quick repeat after making a silly mistake has gotten us all though! #adechat

In reply to @MirCWalsh

ThatEdTechGuy May 30 @ 3:09 PM EDT

Hi all. A1: haven’t used SPG so much in the classroom this year, but Digital Leaders have been running sessions at our Genius Bar. #ADEChat

In reply to @Joe_Moretti

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:09 PM EDT

Can we use the A1 A2 format #adechat on the replies for those that read through the thread later… many thanks. (teacher hat on).

aramski May 30 @ 3:09 PM EDT

A1: block coding is good for LS, but SPG makes coding fun and accessible #ADEchat

MirCWalsh May 30 @ 3:10 PM EDT

Yep. I find portal practice is the one that gets newbies right away. #ADEchat

In reply to @TeachMeGG

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:10 PM EDT

A1: difficult thing: everything's in English, that was challenging for my pupils, so I've translated every challenge #ADEchat

aDesignEdu May 30 @ 3:11 PM EDT

Hi everyone, Anders Randler #ADE2015 sending you Q2 in this amazing #ADEchat .

MrTullock May 30 @ 3:11 PM EDT

Hi, Paul from Newcastle class of #ADE2017 sorry I'm late #adechat

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:11 PM EDT

#adechat Absolutely, you have to integrate your ‘normal’(?) classroom elements with the SPG..

In reply to @liesbeth080180

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:12 PM EDT

A2: no, just worked through the first module. Am now busy with building a coding curriculum for @DeStapsteen will use it! #ADEchat

marienkoen May 30 @ 3:12 PM EDT

Ed with @liesbeth080180. Our students don't struggle with the code being in English, but with the instruction. Hail to the teacher! #ADEchat

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:12 PM EDT

#adechat v cool idea !

In reply to @liesbeth080180, @DeStapsteen

MirCWalsh May 30 @ 3:12 PM EDT

A2. Only just started playing around with Xcode and playgrounds hoping to integrate it into the curriculum in september. #ADEchat.

In reply to @aDesignEdu

aDesignEdu May 30 @ 3:12 PM EDT

I’ve been thinking of doing the same in Swedish… together with som older students #ADEchat

In reply to @liesbeth080180

MrTullock May 30 @ 3:12 PM EDT

A1: Introduced to my class last half term. ❤️ed it. Found it the next step on from block coding & were fascinated to see it written #adechat

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:13 PM EDT

#adechat basically every language we learn is coding. So I use coding through history as well for my lessons. To give a different view

In reply to @Joe_Moretti

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:13 PM EDT

A2: I've only had girls work through Swift Playground on their own up to now. #ADEchat

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:13 PM EDT

Yeah, I think people underestimate the ‘extra’ put in to make things work in class. Well done! #adechat

In reply to @liesbeth080180

ThatEdTechGuy May 30 @ 3:13 PM EDT

thanks. It’s a great tool for building confidence with those with little or no coding experience. So simple to use. #ADEChat

In reply to @Joe_Moretti

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:14 PM EDT

Yes, teachers matter when starting to code in class #adechat

Hi everyone, Anders Randler #ADE2015 sending you Q2 in this amazing #ADEchat .

MirCWalsh May 30 @ 3:14 PM EDT

Thats actually a good point Koen. Now to just have multi-lingual byte #ADEchat

In reply to @marienkoen, @liesbeth080180

LyndseyBalfe May 30 @ 3:15 PM EDT

I have been using SPG with 2nd years and they love it, ive been surprised by how quick they have picked up the basics #ADEchat

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:15 PM EDT

I kept the coding language in English though as to not to confuse them later #adechat

In reply to @aDesignEdu

marienkoen May 30 @ 3:15 PM EDT

What programming language is @LanttoSari using? #ADEchat

LadyWesner May 30 @ 3:15 PM EDT

#ADEChat A1&2: Haven't tried it w students but for me, coding always seemed so inaccessible & daunting before @SwiftCodePG now I can code!

MrTullock May 30 @ 3:15 PM EDT

A1: We used @BookCreatorApp to document our SPG journey. The video capture & screen shots of code really helped us to understand #adechat

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:16 PM EDT

Byte is so cool. Kids love 'it'! #ADEchat

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:16 PM EDT

Yeah, I watched them and played them out with them #adechat

In reply to @aDesignEdu

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:16 PM EDT

Q2 - something @aDesignEdu and I are particularly interested in, would really like to see a central ‘swopping’ of work in progress #adechat

TeachMeGG May 30 @ 3:16 PM EDT

So true, even for teachers with no coding experience.. with the iTunes U course and iBooks.. the learning is so structured! #adechat

In reply to @LadyWesner, @SwiftCodePG

aDesignEdu May 30 @ 3:17 PM EDT

Way to go Lindsay!!! #ADEchat

In reply to @LadyWesner, @SwiftCodePG

MrTullock May 30 @ 3:18 PM EDT

A2: not tried it yet, but will hopefully next term #adechat

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:18 PM EDT

The portfolio is something I've seen ignored in some schools with students left totally without guidance. #adechat Simple to introduce.

In reply to @MrTullock, @BookCreatorApp

LadyWesner May 30 @ 3:18 PM EDT

Hey hey! Finally not travelling or sleeping during #ADEchat time. Hope all is good in Jozi!

In reply to @BronwynWrites, @SwiftCodePG

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:18 PM EDT

There really is no excuse now, actually. We're relooking at curriculum to integrate coding. #ADEchat

TeachMeGG May 30 @ 3:16 PM EDT

You’ll love. Amazing tool to create complete Lab Kits for the students. Works on both Mac and iPad. #adechat

In reply to @MrTullock

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:20 PM EDT

A2: old Design & Tech subject is being transformed (& renamed?) to incorporate @SwiftCodePG #ADEchat

jimmclean1 May 30 @ 3:21 PM EDT

A portfolio is essential imho as it would allow learners to try out code e.g. On Lgo we do or mindstorms #ADEchat

ajegbers May 30 @ 3:21 PM EDT

Read an article yesterday about how coding should be a tough process. With obstacles and tough decisions. Should we glorify it? #ADEChat

In reply to @LadyWesner, @SwiftCodePG

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:22 PM EDT

So, on to Q3. Whenever a new SPG has arrived a lot of interest is generated.. So… #adechat What would you like to see developed?

MirCWalsh May 30 @ 3:22 PM EDT

There's still got obstacles but we should celebrate it's being so accessible #ADEchat

In reply to @ajegbers, @LadyWesner, @SwiftCodePG

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:23 PM EDT

A2: Bought my son an iMac this w/kend. He's doing a @udemy #xcode course on it. #ADEchat

LadyWesner May 30 @ 3:23 PM EDT

Ah, more of team 🇿🇦in the house! Please share the article link. My feeling is that vital competencies should never be inaccessible #ADEchat

In reply to @ajegbers, @SwiftCodePG

aDesignEdu May 30 @ 3:23 PM EDT

Completely depends on how you go about the process of teaching coding… with SPG it’s an amazing inspiring activity! #adechat

In reply to @ajegbers, @LadyWesner, @SwiftCodePG

mevr_verstappen May 30 @ 3:24 PM EDT

Time for #ADEchat, finished my 2nd correction. Just have to catch up with the questions

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:24 PM EDT

#portfolios allow for #reflection - an essential #learning discipline #ADEchat

jimmclean1 May 30 @ 3:21 PM EDT

A portfolio is essential imho as it would allow learners to try out code e.g. On Lgo we do or mindstorms #ADEchat

ajegbers May 30 @ 3:24 PM EDT

Accessible, yes but we also need to temper with reality. Block coding if any sort simplifies a process that, in reality, is tough. #ADEchat

In reply to @MirCWalsh, @LadyWesner, @SwiftCodePG

mevr_verstappen May 30 @ 3:24 PM EDT

Hi, Vivian here, from the Netherlands. Ready to implement coding at @UrsulaHorn next year #adechat

LyndseyBalfe May 30 @ 3:25 PM EDT

I havent gotten to xcode yet, i was nervous about using it but Swift has made me more confident about coding #ADEchat

LadyWesner May 30 @ 3:25 PM EDT

Which is why @SwiftCodePG is different - learning a #coding language & not just playing w blocks - more realistic & transferrable #ADEChat

In reply to @ajegbers, @MirCWalsh, @SwiftCodePG, @SwiftCodePG

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:25 PM EDT

Problem solving and opportunities for failure are part and parcel of #coding and essential life skills #ADEchat

In reply to @ajegbers, @LadyWesner, @SwiftCodePG

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:26 PM EDT

A3 How much is really necessary? Good to diversify but at some point we have to do research on how it changes / helps our pupils #adechat

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:27 PM EDT

A3. I’m getting the feeling that few have taken the steps into SPG creation. @aDesignEdu this may be something we should include #adechat

ajegbers May 30 @ 3:27 PM EDT

Looking for it #ADEchat

In reply to @LadyWesner, @SwiftCodePG

mevr_verstappen May 30 @ 3:27 PM EDT

Don’t forget thinking in structures to solve unknown problems #adechat

A3. These are all great I've used the Sphero + parrot ones. Would like to SPG of varying difficulties from these developers. #ADEchat

In reply to @Joe_Moretti

This is exactly the reason SPG is SO great! #ADEchat

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:27 PM EDT

A3 Part2. In the forthcoming Swift SPG book (with @danielbbudd) that we are working on… #adechat

TeachMeGG May 30 @ 3:28 PM EDT

A3 I feel the added on product.. (we have D&D), doesn't really add as much to the learning experience as I expected #ADEchat

aramski May 30 @ 3:29 PM EDT

A3: anything and everything! => Internet Of Things #ADEchat

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:29 PM EDT

Could you tell us more? Be interested to hear. #adechat

In reply to @TeachMeGG

MrTullock May 30 @ 3:30 PM EDT

A3: not really dug too deeply into SPG with @Sphero but I hopefully will over the summer. So much to explore #ADEchat

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:30 PM EDT

Definitely! #ADEchat

aramski May 30 @ 3:29 PM EDT

Your daily conversation report is ready for #ADEchat for May 29th https://t.co/1jWQRb40II

aDesignEdu May 30 @ 3:30 PM EDT

A3 about creating SPG-books… that’s an altogether more difficult task. Definitely possible… but start with simple PG in Xcode #adechat

In reply to @Joe_Moretti

MarkvandeMortel May 30 @ 3:31 PM EDT

See @Joe_Moretti through @mevr_verstappen I still take part in the #ADEchat 😃 Coding will be at my department @UrsulaHorn @iPadklasSSU 🤘🏻

mevr_verstappen May 30 @ 3:24 PM EDT

Hi, Vivian here, from the Netherlands. Ready to implement coding at @UrsulaHorn next year #adechat

aDesignEdu May 30 @ 3:33 PM EDT

Ok, it’s time for next Q4, some new stuff from Apple that I love! #adechat

ajegbers May 30 @ 3:33 PM EDT

Sorry #ADEchat

ajegbers May 30 @ 3:32 PM EDT

https://t.co/8ywl3O5BfM and please, I am really into teaching coding from early on. But for me it's not about language but rather the skills
In reply to @LadyWesner, @SwiftCodePG

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:34 PM EDT

Coding shouldn't be done 'just for the sake of it, as it's fashionable'. Must add value. Ss can find value through voice & choice. #adechat

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 3:34 PM EDT

A4. @aDesignEdu are you going to say a bit about what you’ve been doing here and why you like it? #adechat

MirCWalsh May 30 @ 3:35 PM EDT

Just one opinion. Plenty of evidence to say otherwise! #ADEchat

In reply to @ajegbers

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:35 PM EDT

A4 looked at it, started it, now stopped for a while. Would like to learn though. But first our coding curriculum #adechat need some #grit 😉

ajegbers May 30 @ 3:36 PM EDT

Truly! That's why we introduce the process in Gr 1. I just think we need to tell students that it won't all be a cakewalk? #adechat

In reply to @MirCWalsh

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:36 PM EDT

But we always should look at more than one opinion, we could learn from the article en adjust our program. #adechat

In reply to @MirCWalsh, @ajegbers

catherinem23 May 30 @ 3:36 PM EDT

But to hook kids it should be fun....... #adechat

In reply to @ajegbers, @LadyWesner, @SwiftCodePG

MirCWalsh May 30 @ 3:36 PM EDT

I think if you start them with the basics it is easier. Skip the basics and it can go downhill fast! #ADEchat

In reply to @ajegbers

mevr_verstappen May 30 @ 3:37 PM EDT

A4: looked into it, but it’s a step to far at the moment, first I would like to embed coding-skills at @UrsulaHorn #VMBOT #adechat

ajegbers May 30 @ 3:37 PM EDT

Ps haven't had a good twitter debate in a while. Thanks. #ADEchat 😉😀

In reply to @MirCWalsh

aDesignEdu May 30 @ 3:37 PM EDT

Ok, so here I’m talking about the all new version without ”Introduction” in front. This is actually a really great course. #ADEchat

In reply to @Joe_Moretti

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:38 PM EDT

I agree with that ! Doing the same thing @DeStapsteen #adechat

In reply to @mevr_verstappen, @UrsulaHorn, @DeStapsteen

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:38 PM EDT

Nothing ever is but let them get a chance to fall in love with it, at least let it peak their interest. #walkbeforeyourun #ADEchat

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:39 PM EDT

A4: Haven't looked at it, yet. #ADEchat

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:39 PM EDT

Does it need to be a cakewalk though? Isn't learning at it's best when it is slightly (just a bit) uncomfortable? #adechat

In reply to @ajegbers, @MirCWalsh

MrTullock May 30 @ 3:39 PM EDT

A4: not ready for that yet #ADEchat

ajegbers May 30 @ 3:40 PM EDT

And physical. see results that aren't on device #codeapillar @tickleapp @Sphero give real feedback. Can set challenges that scale. #ADEchat

Q5 doesn’t seem to have sent… (or I missed the #adechat) more like

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:45 PM EDT

A5 I use all kind of coding exercises like Ceasar code, Morse code, coding using handsignals, to show it's a way of communicating. #ADEchat

I've been surprised more than once this year and discovered some great coders who never knew they could #ADechat

In reply to @LyndseyBalfe, @ajegbers

Yes! It is language! Ways to communicate with each other. #ADEchat definitely add it to the language department

In reply to @aramski, @BronwynWrites

ajegbers May 30 @ 3:47 PM EDT

What are the basics?The language? or problem solving,dealing with frustration,debugging,perseverance? These are what I look for. #adechat

In reply to @LyndseyBalfe, @MirCWalsh

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:47 PM EDT

Coding benefits include the use of the problem based learning cycle. #adechat

A5 use a lot of paper as well to draw out the possibilities to solving the problem. Love using pseudocode! #ADEchat

Yes! This is great. Poor kids. #ADEchat Frustration, thinking, resolution, reflection. All those emotions! #lovecoding #makesnosense

In reply to @Joe_Moretti

mevr_verstappen May 30 @ 3:52 PM EDT

I think this is the basics. Let kids experience the do coding all the time en than take the step to coding language #ADEchat

Actually when you think about how to solve a problem, you think in a logical sequence…Pseudo Code. So yes, it’s great! #adechat

A5 The secondaries will be the ones needing to push coding further and be more creative! #ADEChat

liesbeth080180 May 30 @ 3:55 PM EDT

But maybe let teachers who have an apt for it, teach it. We don't all have to be generalists. Just like your example. #ADEchat

BronwynWrites May 30 @ 3:55 PM EDT

Absolutely. Let those who want to code, code. #ADEchat

#ADEchat it's not. But, for me, both if those examokss are tough. And so is code, especially beyond 'blocky'

#ADEchat definitely - this was how we were encouraged at university (also encourages documentation of code in comments in teams)

Joe_Moretti May 30 @ 4:02 PM EDT

Thanks all. Its late here so I’ll leave it to @aDesignEdu to wrap up. #adechat Good to chat with you all.

katigori May 30 @ 4:02 PM EDT

#ADEchat can highlight the coder's thinking when you're debugging/adapting later and also help new readers learn
