#etcoaches Altogether we took 3 polls... We were also wondering...When do you think coding should be introduced?

JBR_Kleinmann Mar 28 @ 8:12 PM EDT

#etcoaches At what time in their education should students be introduced to computational thinking and coding?

Katie_M_Ritter - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Earlier the better, with "unplugged" lessons! #ETCoaches

JBR_Kleinmann Mar 28 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2 do typewriters count LOL. I started basic coding in elementary. #ETCoaches

JBR_Kleinmann Mar 28 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2. #etcoaches My favorite article on Computational Thinking https://t.co/NV5reShPA1

Katie_M_Ritter - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:18 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A2: based on that research, the sooner the better! Could start with concepts like Branching in Forms: https://t.co/vPZIOjjNFu

MrsMHenning - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 #ETCoaches - the younger that you can start, the better. Many start with Hour of Code and evolve from there.

JBR_Kleinmann Mar 28 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Katie_M_Ritter - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:21 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A2: below is a booksnap from #codeineveryclass...I think we need to start by encouraging & educating T's, so they're not afraid!

MrsMHenning - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:22 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A3. Biggest challenge is getting Ts buy-in. We started with elementary computer teachers, some elementary teachers caught on too!

Katie_M_Ritter - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:23 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A3 a1: I think the biggest challenge is convincing people coding is for more than math & CS classes!

CoLIBRAtoRY Mar 28 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: challenges: getting more Ts on board. Have to provide PD so they know what coding is and how we can share the learning #etcoaches

AlexLCarterEDU Mar 28 @ 8:23 PM EDT

#etcoaches my teachers seem to be exhausting whats available. I am looking for new tools and ideas. What do you use?

JBR_Kleinmann Mar 28 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3. #etcoaches I was fortunate to train with @ScratchEdTeam. I taught Scratch to 3rd grade while Ts observed me. Train the trainer model

In reply to @ScratchEdTeam

Katie_M_Ritter - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:24 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A3 a2: Coders need to have a working, cross-curricular knowledge to code a good program for that field! Can't JUST know math & CS

Katie_M_Ritter - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:23 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A3 a1: I think the biggest challenge is convincing people coding is for more than math & CS classes!

Katie_M_Ritter - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:26 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A3 a3: I wonder if another challenge is that coaches aren't entirely knowledgable & comfortable to teach Ts? I know I'm not!

JBR_Kleinmann Mar 28 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3. #etcoaches it is a different mindset. I find that the challenge. Sometimes my fear of not knowing an answer

Katie_M_Ritter - Moderator Mar 28 @ 8:27 PM EDT

#ETCoaches A3b: That's why we're starting with this Twitter chat to help coaches become more comfortable & knowledgable!

In reply to @EdTechCoaches

This is so important - Start teaching Ts how to code - then introduce to Ss - #HourofCode is a great way to do this #etcoaches #learntocode
