A new article, "Hour Of Code 2018" is up on my website, https://t.co/QK2HLrNhFn. Here is a link to the post: https://t.co/J9GywAOgXO

#HourOfCode #CSedWeek

[Pat Errico @PatErrico]

Enthusiastic students make for dedicated learners. One student told me, "I like #coding, when I grow up I want to make movies using computers."

By developing 21st century skills & teaching #ComputerScience we can open many doors for our students.

3rd graders in #SummerSchool2018 working on their keyboarding skills with @typingpal and...

Having fun at the same time!

#SummerSchool2018 5th graders enjoy #coding with our pal Whiskers the mouse! Students are writing code and thinking outside the box to develop their problem solving skills.

Today the Ss in room 222 were the teachers & taught Miss Ferber how they integrate technology into their learning. To enhance their learning the Ss used @Seesaw to label the parts of our classroom lilacs. Technology, science, and writing all in one!

Students made predictions about how many pennies their boats would hold using #GoogleForms then added the actual number after testing.

The chart is a little hard to read but you can see some predictions (green) were close to the results (yellow).

Some more student boat photos! The only design constraint placed on the students was that their boats must have a place to hold pennies.

They floated better than expected and we collected some data to go along with the experience.

Will It Float?

#Student creations go from from concept to design to 3D printing to floating in a tub of water. Everyone was thrilled to see their #ideas become #reality!

LEARN IT/USE IT! Wasting no time and using the new interpersonal strategies learned through @FLENJ with my TMES Engineers ❤😊 #Foreveralearner @Asbury_ParkSD @TMES_STEAM @TheaJackson8

[TMES STEAM @TMES_STEAM]

Forgot to add some pictures! 😋

[TMES STEAM @TMES_STEAM]

Students continue to #collaborate with each other and #discuss design ideas as they finalize their boats for #3DPrinting.

Will they float? Stay tuned...

Students are using what they previously learned creating aluminum foil boats to design boats that will be 3D printed. The true test will be if they float and how many pennies the boats hold. #HarderThanItLooks #STEM @Asbury_ParkSD @TheaJackson8

[TMES STEAM @TMES_STEAM]

It's exciting to watch students share what they have learned in @tinkercad with each other! The students have become teachers. @Asbury_ParkSD @TheaJackson8

[TMES STEAM @TMES_STEAM]

What can you make out of a square of aluminum foil? How many pennies will it hold? 30 pennies is our best so far. @TheaJackson8 @Asbury_ParkSD

[TMES STEAM @TMES_STEAM]

What makes a boat float? Students learning, disussing and writing about the properties of boats in preparation for making their own models. @TheaJackson8 @Asbury_ParkSD

Thurgood Marshall Quad D Challenge✔️ Ss researched, drafted, edited, illustrated, finalized, & recorded paper slides. Stop in 222 to check them out! Here is a sneak peek of the recording process. @TheaJackson8 @skgray1 @CarolynJMarano @napolitania21 @CynthiaArdi5 @CurlyBrown38

[Kahoot! @Kahoot]

@TMES_STEAM @tinkercad @TheaJackson8 @napolitania21 @Asbury_ParkSD @PatErrico That's the secret of Kahoot!'ing, you have fun and you're learning at the same time! 🎓

[TMES STEAM @TMES_STEAM]

This @GetKahoot quiz was about object manipulation and camera movement basics. Working in 3D is new to the students as is the @tinkercad software. Looking at the results CaptainMonkey & AwesomeBat were the ones to beat!

[TMES STEAM @TMES_STEAM]

Students having a great time reinforcing their newly developed @tinkercad skills playing @GetKahoot in the lab. They have so much fun the students don't realize they are learning. 😀 @TheaJackson8 @napolitania21 @Asbury_ParkSD @PatErrico
