how expensive is this? #MTedchat

In reply to @NVradenburg, @kodable

bookwormmarla Dec 6 @ 10:31 PM EST

#mtedchat Hour of code is great for little kids - play to learn.

Q4: Time is the biggest challenge for Educators. How do you create time in your day to do Hour of Code? #MTedchat #HourofCode

St006C Dec 6 @ 10:35 PM EST

A3b) I also use it to encourage Ss 2 explore. Coding is is usually an option during choice time #MTedchat

barbarafrank77 Dec 6 @ 10:35 PM EST

A3) we r just getting started k-4 with limited resources. Started w/ Osmo in few rooms to generate interest #MTedchat

A4: this is why I haven't done so before. Not enough time. This year for sure! #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Dec 6 @ 10:38 PM EST

A4 I use Osmo Coding Fridays during Math centers. In Dec we code during Tech and Makerspace blocks w/ https://t.co/Mw8t5cKWYf #MTedchat

A5 I feel like coding is going to be a life/work skill that they need as they grow up so I feel responsible to go beyond a week #MTedchat

AmandaRapstad Dec 6 @ 10:48 PM EST

so I plan on incorporating it into my weekly lesson plans and integrating content. #mtedchat
