I mostly share about #teaching but I'm also a #maker
My #3dprinted earrings & rings are for sale here:

Return to 4th grade Code Club https://t.co/7JXfveo8tq this time with my high school students as coaches.

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

I 💜that I still have purple #mathforum pens that match my purple hair to do my CS grading.

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

@brockwelljunior @turtlestitch @megjlow @wmgwarwick @edfordham Fantastic!

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

Looking for turtles? Using my #3dprinted magnets to test student @codeorg algorithms to find duplicates of an array. @csteachersorg

@CSTANH1 @code This one seems appropriate for today #SnowDay https://t.co/5DEk8rX00t

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

@codeorg @csteachersorg @CSTANH1 Here is another Java coded winter scene https://t.co/Z4zkJRWG8S

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

My #APCSA students outdid themselves. I assigned an open-ended "create a winter scene" project to get them comfortable using @codeorg Theater/Scene classes in Java. Here's one. https://t.co/UAWakEniND @csteachersorg @CSTANH1

@GeoffCyr Happy birthday 🎂🍰🧁🍥🥮

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

Today in AP CSP, we took a break from @codeorg to use #makecode and program the @adafruit #circuitplayground on my Wanda headdress. @CSTANH1

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

@alfredtwo No, I’m older now. Life is short, make it sweet, eat cake. Then have a salad 🥗 for lunch. #balance

💕 convo with former 4th grade @CodeClub member at the farmers market:
Coder: I’m going to be at the high school this year.
Me: me too!
Coder: I’ll take your class!

A6 good quality code comes from good quality testing of that code. peers work for this #csk8

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

@bquentin3 @scratch Zinnea https://t.co/MYvFmzOlCM has excellent tutorials for @scratch #csk8

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

A3 live coding -good for syntax - especially if you make errors while typing. Students can follow along to make sure you don't make any mistakes - blocks - put them out of order -see if anyone catches it #csk8

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

A0 #csk8 Laurel from New Hampshire. Code Club leader and (starting this fall) high school CS teacher.

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

@tedfujimoto It was suggested (in teacher training) not to live in the town you teach in (in case you would be seen doing things unfit of a teacher?) 🤷‍♀️ I love seeing students around town and catching up with former students.

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

One more week of #3Dprinting #summercamp @AVAgallery_org
It’s a survey of @tinkercad @WeAreLeopoly @3dslash desktophero2.0 and more using @monoprice mini deltas and some 3D pens too.

Week 1 was mostly girls, 2nd 50-50 and 3rd mostly boys.

[Laurel Pollard @MrsPollardprime]

@alfredtwo Thanks for curating resources for new CS teachers. I’m shifting to teach CS at my local NH high school in the fall. I’d heard about the Fb groups but didn’t have the links.

What great PD and PLC building look like. I had a good time in Maine with @EducateMaine and I'm excited to @teachcode

[Educate Maine @EducateMaine]

We're having a great time @projectlogin & @codeorg's CS Summer Institute educating the educators to expand computer science access across Maine and New England!
