We had crazy fun during Learn to Code week, December 9-15, introducing programming to elementary students. I could not wipe the smile off my face for a minute. We all had a blast. More computer programming will be happening in January and I'm hoping the kiddos develop a long-lasting love of understanding technology and learning to code.
If you are looking for awesome iPad apps to try I suggest Kodable, Daisy the dinosaur, Light-Bot and Hopscotch for starters. If you are using a computer I suggest trying Light-Bot and www.Code.org. If you haven't tried programming on an iPad I highly recommend it for the kids as young as 4.
Here are a few pictures that captured the joy of learning to code. I don't have any shots showing the "agony of defeat," as they used to say on the old ABC's Wide World of Sports. But there are some "thrill of victory" snapshots!

*Loved using AirServer to mirror my iPad on the SMART board in different classrooms this past week! However, AirServer running on a MacBook and my iPad running iOS 7 are not getting along right now. I hope Apple updates iOS 7 soon so I am back in mirroring heaven. I really, really dislike being tied to a computer at the front or side of a classroom.
