MrCarlsonK Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@MsbatistaL It's like we are back in Berlin! #ADEchat

ryanorilio Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: coding can be content or delivery method. Design an app that explores the human body, and you have coding teaching biology #ADEchat

MiaLMorrison Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@nancykawaja YES - tool for engaging Ss & offering pathways for logic, critical thinking, & problem solving #ADEchat #SwiftPlaygrounds

MsbatistaL Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT

I'm curious, can I make it work in kinder? That's why I'm here today. #ADEchat

JessicaRae929 Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: Coding can be used in ELA to help students think about texts in new ways. I've working mostly w/ block-based coding #adechat

castlestephanie Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT

#ADEchat I just got a Sphero and am planning a lesson for Ss to get it to move around a circulatory system!

MrGoldsworthy12 Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A.1 I'm a coding rookie. My examples incl Hour of Code with all Career ed classes #ADEchat Looking to Grow

That's awesome, @ryanorilio. Coding for content delivery. Now that's a powerful idea! #adechat

JessicaRae929 Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@castlestephanie Love this! My students love working with the Spheros. It's a way to make complex info concrete #adechat

castlestephanie Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

#ADEchat Its challenging in content heavy high-school curricula but I think it's possible if we get creative!

JennyGrabiec Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@danielbbudd Awesome! Let's see a pic of their robots! #ADEChat

ryanorilio Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1a: I think that coding can also be a tool for reinforcing and practicing directions, numbers, size... #ADEchat

MiaLMorrison Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@JessicaRae929 It can help with organizing and progression of argument/thought - for writing! #ADEchat #SwiftPlaygrounds

wfryer Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Q1 for #adechat https://t.co/5WQYO3Ky7Y

castlestephanie Sep 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@JessicaRae929 #ADEchat yes, I just wish you could record custom sounds so they could narrate as the Sphero reaches a destination :-P

MrKelly027 - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: Coding can fit into really any part of the classroom. Coding spheros for measurement or scratch to tell a story #ADEchat

WiredEducator Sep 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Students who learn to code become great learners overall. I see all disciplines represented. #ADEchat https://t.co/CHBnqgLkZe

Storytelling with coding. Great idea, @MrKelly027. That's a concept that can fit into any content area! #adechat

wfryer Sep 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1 #coding can help students develop computational thinking, problem solving, collaboration & communication skills #STEM #adechat

castlestephanie Sep 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@WiredEducator #ADEchat I got that Sphero we were talking about so was excited to see you were moderating this chat! :)

WiredEducator Sep 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

#ADEchat. Here comes question two: What misconceptions and fears do educators have about learning to code? #SwiftPlaygrounds

JennyGrabiec Sep 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

.@KristenBrooks77 Sweet! Have you started any of your #AppleTeacher quizzes yet? You will rock them! #ADEChat

JessicaRae929 Sep 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@castlestephanie I talked to @karlyb about putting @Sphero on green screen & recording, then Ss can drop it in iMovie and narrate #ADEchat

sjunkins Sep 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

So true, @_AReichert! Coding is real world application for mathematics! #adechat

wfryer Sep 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1 One of my fav lessons involving computational thinking is "#MinecraftEDU Redstone Engineering Challenge" https://t.co/mHljp3lZ45 #adechat

castlestephanie Sep 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@Mrreiff @OZOBOT #ADEchat can you record custom sounds on @ozobot?

KMillerSAIL Sep 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1. Use it to build clear communication skills especially in teams, proofreading and direction word practice #adechat

BeckyEdu Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@tdstech How have you done this? #adechat

MsbatistaL Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1 programming in kinder can consist of device and non device activities ranging from art-science #ADEchat

techtrender85 Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: Coding can fit with any subject! Super simple for math! #ADEchat

JessicaRae929 Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@Mrreiff So excited to hear more about this! I'm adding a coding element to Shakespeare this year as well #ADEchat

ryanorilio Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

.@WiredEducator @sjunkins students who learn to code are the best problem solvers! #adechat

MrCarlsonK Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: "I can't code". #adechat

MiaLMorrison Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1 Coding develops progression of thought, design thinking & problem solving. Increases grit and tenacity #SwiftPlaygrounds #ADEchat

_AReichert Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Coding ties in nicely with graphing in math. Domain and range would be the input, the picture is the output. #adechat

KristenBrooks77 Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

K-5th love coding dot and dash I made tracks with gym floor tape. @WonderWorkshop #adechat https://t.co/2CnSdWsEXH

annkozma723 Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@JessicaRae929 @castlestephanie @karlyb @Sphero also, make your @WonderWorkshop Dash a character & drop into a @DoInkTweets project #ADEchat

castlestephanie Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

#ADEChat A2: I think many teachers have fears of introducing coding because they don't have much experience of it themselves

sjunkins Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Time for Q2 on #adechat https://t.co/fNXDVNSMTX

BeckyEdu Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Today Ss learned about what programming is and we used @ScratchJr lesson plan 1 to get started. Must give Ss time to explore/play #adechat

bjlangston Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1: coding spheros through student made mazes - reviews math angles #adechat

castlestephanie Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@JessicaRae929 @karlyb @Sphero #ADEchat Awesome Idea! Thanks for sharing!!

techtrender85 Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: They are scared of coding bc they don't know how to do it. Ts don't realize they can learn alongside and from Ss! #ADEchat

jaychsiao Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1: logic, organization, thinking outside the box. Ex. Skills future medical pros need, cases not always simple and straightforward #ADEchat

MrKelly027 - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: I think educators are scared they don't understand it, how it fits or where to start. "You need a computer science degree" #ADEchat

MiaLMorrison Sep 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 Many think coding is only for STEM classes and is difficult to get started #ADEchat

bjlangston Sep 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#ADEchat A2: fear that there needs to be one right way to solve a problem

ryanorilio Sep 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: I think a lot of educators are hesitant because they aren't really sure what coding is... #ADEchat

wgrantsmith Sep 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: That programmers can teach it better than techers who have coding content knowledge (sooo untrue)...I'm joining #adechat late!

JessicaRae929 Sep 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Great use for primary ELA; would love to try bringing this to secondary where narrative sometimes lost #adechat https://t.co/FnwMc3lgQ8

tdstech Sep 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: love combining story writing with coding #scratchjr #adechat

sjunkins Sep 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

So true, @BeckyEdu! Exploration and play are at the heart of learning! #adechat

TNording Sep 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#adechat 2A: How does coding tie into the curriculum? I don't have time to add another thing to my unit.

KristenBrooks77 Sep 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@JennyGrabiec Not yet preparing for a webinar I'm presenting Thursday night but working next week while I'm on fall break #ADEchat

Mrreiff Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@castlestephanie @OZOBOT Not that I'm aware of, but I've only experimented with one model. #ADEChat

ryanorilio Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

So right @MsbatistaL coding doesn't need devices! #adechat

techtrender85 Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

My 4th and 5th gr used Javascript to write the code for circle illustrations to celebrate #dotday16! Took minutes to catch on!#ADEchat

WiredEducator Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

#ADEchat A2: I think many Ts & Ss fear learning to code is too hard or it won’t ship. That’s why I am excited about #SwiftPlaygrounds

jaychsiao Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: "Not good with computers" ... "I type slow" ... "'Not enough time in class". Doesn't always have to be large-scale, text-based #ADEchat

bjlangston Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@techtrender85 Huge problem!! #ADEchat

mimasaunders Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: Coding a robot which could be the protagonist in a 'choose your own adventure' story with props e.g. with dead ends, forked rds #adechat

castlestephanie Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

#ADEchat A2: I think there is also a fear that it will reduce the time needed to get content communicated when you have heavy curricula

JessicaRae929 Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@wfryer I'm trying to teach myself #MinecraftEDU and I'm awful! Any tips? I'm wanting to have kids build settings from text #adechat

A2 Besides general fears about coding being hard & intimidating, the #SwiftPlaygrounds learning curve (time required) is a factor #adechat

MrKelly027 - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@MiaLMorrison yup, more than just STEM classes! #ADEchat

castlestephanie Sep 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@Mrreiff @OZOBOT #ADEchat Let me know if you discover this feature in your exploration! :)

j0hnburns Sep 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

#adechat A2. One misconception is that learning to code is a ‘21st century literacy’ and similar to learning a language.

tdstech Sep 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 time!! Never enough time!! #adechat

sjunkins Sep 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Amen, @bjlangston! Real world probs don't always have easy solutions. It's about finding what works and doesn't work by discovery! #adechat

_AReichert Sep 13 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Game desgin is a great way to get started with coding. For example, if the sprite jumps, then you earn a coin. So on and so forth. #adechat

MiaLMorrison Sep 13 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Love the #SwiftPlayground resources, especially the #iTunesU course! https://t.co/LUdpMtoPl8 #ADEchat

#ADEchat A2. Another misconception is that coding is the end game. We code because we want to create and find/solve problems.

MsbatistaL Sep 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 that it may not be for all, I'm referring to our younger Ss, is it accessible to them? #ADEchat

JessicaRae929 Sep 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT

There's a much strong content focus in secondary whereas lower grades Ts are often more focused on pedagogy #ADEchat https://t.co/Pq0XHvEJc9

castlestephanie Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

#ADEchat A2: I think there is also a fear that it will reduce the time needed to get content communicated when you have heavy curricula

KristenBrooks77 Sep 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 Most fear the unknown and don't have time 2 learn new things-for me seeing sweet smiles when we code is worth my extra hours. #adechat

ryanorilio Sep 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2b: coding can also change a teachers teaching style... That can be scary! #ADEchat

danielbbudd Sep 13 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@castlestephanie @WiredEducator Hopefully there will be #Sphero support in #SwiftPlaygrounds soon. They did demo it at WWDC. #adechat

MsbatistaL Sep 13 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@tdstech it does take creativity and flexibility to incorporate CS into the classroom #adechat

bjlangston Sep 13 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Yes!! I hear often Scratch is too easy. Like saying a hammer is too easy - just a tool! #ADEchat https://t.co/CqhgRixfnG

mimasaunders Sep 13 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@MsbatistaL #adechat Yes! I've seen it done really well in K-2. Not all coding activities need digital tools and Beebots are huge in JP.

@Mrreiff that's why it's so Important to introduce it early when we can generate the biggest interest K-5 #adechat

jaychsiao Sep 13 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: lessons well designed for basics, then blank playgrounds can be created to experiment in. Supposedly can use UIKit elements. #ADEchat

j0hnburns Sep 13 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@wfryer The best I have is that it’s a problem solving process. Deconstructing a problem and creating a series of steps to solve it #adechat

KMillerSAIL Sep 13 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 Ss & I will learn together at our own pace. Will be applicable to other activities not just the Swift playground #adechat

@talouis @j0hnburns that works too. I'm a big fan of recipe/cooking analogies for media projects & workflows too. So is @TechChef4u #adechat

@karlyb Me too! I think this builds a special community with Ss! We're all learning together #ADEchat

When I don't know all the answers, students have to take ownership for their learning. Coding is a perfect opportunity for this. #ADEchat

@karlyb and that is so empowering for Ss to take ownership of their learning & challenge themselves to go beyond. #ADEchat
