Fourth Graders in room 307 worked on an hour of computer coding on Monday, Dec. 9 during our math instruction time. Students were able to play from a choice of games. One was similar to Angry Birds but then went into a Zombie game. There was a Light Bot game as well as games from TYNKER.
On Friday, our class went to help the Kindergarteners in Ms. Swartz's class for their hour of code. We were using IPADS and the program Kodable or Light Bots. While waiting for an IPAD due to limited number, my students brought up ETOYS on their netbooks and shared how to write code with that program.
It was a very wonderful week of exposing our student population to other choices in the career field of computer technology. We will continue to use ETOYS in my classroom to share knowledge on units of study such as science, math and literacy.
