EGHS Teachers Leading "Hour of Code"
From Mrs. Page and Mr. Revkin, who are leading East Greenwich High School's "Hour of Code"-
Pat Page and I are excited to "host" the "Hour of Code" initiative. This is an opportunity for students (and faculty!) to learn about how computer coding can help create useful and fun programs.
We ask that if you have students in your classes who are interested in coding, and it does not conflict with your lessons, to send those students to the library on Friday the 13th (oooo, spooky coding) during periods 3, 5, 6, or 7. One of us will be there to supervise and interact with the students you send. There are self-paced activities for the students to do. Space is limited so it will be on a first come, first served basis. Send the student with a note. We also created this form so you can sign up the students (to verify their interest and to ensure there is enough space.) https://docs.google.com/a/egsd.net/forms/d/1l1hHFTQ0302rz9XP33PAn0ZYlNAaOvIx6LBPW5AHxVo/viewform
Attached, please find the promotional brochure for the Hour of Code. The links below will show you some of the activities the students may do:
Create a holiday card
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/editor/?tip_bar=hoc
Build iPhone games
https://www.makegameswith.us/build-an-ios-game-in-your-browser/
Build Android games
https://www.touchdevelop.com/hourofcode2
...and learn programming languages like Python and Javascript.
We believe coding is an important tool that applies to every subject, as it is a great way for students to apply their knowledge to create new apps and programs. I hope you'll join us.
Ben and Pat
PS. If you are interested in getting your whole class involved, go for it on your own! All of the materials are available online (http://csedweek.org/). There are even activities you can do WITHOUT a computer, believe it or not. The Hour of Code project is ongoing all week.
