Eeeek Squad in my garage! While the trick-or-treaters were playing games and learning about coding in Scratch, the parents were enjoying the walk down memory lane looking at my vintage Apple computers! ❤️

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

The "Eeeek Squad" worked so well at the "Trunk-or-Treat" at my church that I had to set it up for Halloween night as well!

OMG! These "cat" blocks (as opposed to "hat" blocks) are ADORABLE! Thanks #Scratch for distracting me AND all my code students today!! @CreateLearnSTEM ...point to their ears and they move!

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

Creating this was very therapeutic! :)

[Create & Learn @CreateLearnSTEM]

Our teacher, Kristy, created this video using
@scratch to celebrate #InternationalDayofHappiness!

During times of unknowns and stress such as now, it's more important than ever to express what we're #Grateful -- and happy! -- for. What makes you happy?

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

Thanks Anne! It was really therapeutic creating it! :) I just love teaching kids how to use #Scratch and I hardly ever get the chance to create my own projects!

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

Hi @CreateLearnSTEM community! Challenging my former #Scratch students to create a project for this!

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

With all the challenges going on in the world... spread a little happiness! International Day of Happiness is coming 3/20/20. Here is my #Scratch project for it: https://t.co/MAgxf4DTji
Enjoy! #oredchat #caedchat #meritkci #edtechteam #csk8 #edtechchat #elemcode

Schools closing due to #coronavirus concerns? Have kids learn online @CreateLearnSTEM ! I teach the Scratch classes! :)
Announcing Online Camps - https://t.co/wNVCKihvqd #futureready #RemoteLearning

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

Thank you @mrhooker for leading a fun & informative #FutureReady chat tonight! :)

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

A6: #futureready The online STEM learning program I work for - @CreateLearnSTEM has just announced camp-style classes to meet the needs of students where schools have already closed. https://t.co/wNVCKihvqd

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

A5: #FutureReady I'm not officially part of a district but the one where I live (Medford, OR) "recommends against closing schools and campuses where no cases of COVID-19 are present" https://t.co/Mtyj1JApZ6

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

@thomascmurray I agree! I was tech support in schools for 15+ yrs, it has taken me a long time to feel comfortable instructing via Zoom. Every student has a different setup/computer/wifi signal strength... It has been a joy though meeting students from all over the world! #FutureReady

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

A3: #FutureReady The district I worked for in CA has been emphasizing "at-home-learning" for a few years now. Controversial at first because it replaced the idea of "homework". They are very prepared for the #coronavirus concerns here: https://t.co/7PyItuecOL

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

Sort of - though I have specifically scheduled dates/times for classes that occur weekly. Or in the "camp-like" classes - every day for a week or two.

[Carl Hooker @mrhooker]

@KristyManuel Kind of like “office hours” of sorts?

[Kristy Manuel @KristyManuel]

A2: #FutureReady I agree that the learning should not ALL be digital, but it is nice to take advantage of the "face-to-face" online to be able to teach and stay connected!
