Using the Hour of Code to spark a passion for computer science @PotowmackES 💜
My 4th graders are earning some activity time at https://t.co/47TRiPXAzZ. The students use Blockly coding, by reading directions, and dragging/dropping blocks to bring animation to their laptop screen.

Spent the last year as a middle school A.P. and this week as a sub for ELA at middle school Credit Recovery. When Ss finished their work today, my engaging go-to was @nearpod Time to Climb in student-paced mode for identifying genres, text evidence, point of view & inferencing.

@KyleHamstra Absolutely.
So many educators find out so much when digging into the standards.
Makes the focus of everything else we do intentional for learning.
Can't set a target when we don't know what the standard is asking of learners in the first place.
