TeacherCatt May 10 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A2 Pure JOY! Can't WAIT to show off & teach their peers, parents, clueless T(they think I know how, ha ha) #MDUSDchat

TeacherCatt May 10 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A2 My Ss are now telling their parents I want to design code for a living. Ss are signing up for code camps! That is HUGE! #MDUSDchat

Q3 #MDUSDchat Ss need opportunities for critical thinking, risk taking and learn about iteration

KarlyMoura - Moderator May 10 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@MarkLoundy The 5th graders made a fake Twitter page in Google Drawing and displayed their badges there =) #MDUSDChat

@4mosss In the UK there is #TF4G https://t.co/YQLKnatO4e to encourage girls to code. Check it out. #MDUSDchat

#A3 MANY of my ss want to be video game designers, coding gives them some idea of what that means #mdusdchat https://t.co/AhqvaXldzo

Q3 - In 140 characters, what’s your elevator speech on WHY we should code in schools? #MDUSDchat cc @codeorg #hourofcode

KarlyMoura - Moderator May 10 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A3 Coding teaches kids logic, sequencing and reasoning. Kids really SEE the process when coding. #MDUSDChat

ShaunaHawes May 10 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A3 We have almost 60 girls signed up for our @VVMSGIRLCamp in June from around our area. Coding, robotics, leadership, video... #MDUSDchat

awelcome May 10 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A3 - Coding is the new foreign language, we must open doors for our kids to be literate in 2016, coding does this! #MDUSDchat

SlpSummer May 10 @ 11:51 PM EDT

@MrsWard3 It's great, esp. because it eventually gets awfully complex, but has lots of fun game design levels, too. #MDUSDchat

KarlyMoura - Moderator May 10 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@awelcome @MarkLoundy @KidblogDotOrg YUP! Great idea that's my goal for next year =) Getting there! #MDUSDChat

A3) Teachers who care teach Coding.. It should be the sixth C. Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, Communities #MDUSDchat

4mosss May 10 @ 11:52 PM EDT

A3: all Ss should be exposed to coding,starting at early age. This exposure could lead into an Ed path in comp science #MDUSDchat

Megan_Gerdts May 10 @ 11:52 PM EDT

A3 Ss need the opportunity for things to NOT work the 1st time so they can rethink, restructure, collaborate and figure it out! #mdusdchat

@4mosss girls & "coding" start w storytelling @scratch or https://t.co/4tiR3TIsEA, drawing w/code.org, game design #MDUSDchat

joanieMDUSD May 10 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A3) Offer coding stations as part of STEM Day or Night for a grade level or site #MDUSDchat

I like the idea of using an if/then structure more broadly to present ideas to ss. like for social skills maybe? #MDUSDchat

A3-Give a variety of problems to solve, use Sudo-Code #Unplugged methods first for ideas, how can this be translated into #Code #MDUSDchat

craigyen - Moderator May 10 @ 11:56 PM EDT

A4) Start off year by introducing coding activities with students. Work towards them designing games that build upon curricula. #MDUSDchat
