Students in every grade have discovered Hopscotch as a way to create imaginative programs that they code themselves. This site will give you some ideas and lessons for bringing that creativity into your classroom.

What do you need?

The Hopscotch App

Have your students download the hopscotch app on their iPads from Self-Service

Accounts

Although it is possible to use a guest (random) log in for Hopscotch, it is helpful for teachers to register for an educator account. Hopscotch will then email you with the proper number of student accounts for your class.

Coding Curriculum from Hopscotch

The team at Hopscotch have developed a curriculum with several activities to help kids to get started with code. When you sign up for a teacher account, you will automatically receive access to their curriculum documentation and learn to code activities. You can also access them here.

Lessons for all subject areas

Learning to code does not have to be in Math or Science class. In the real world, code is everywhere! Therefore, it can have a place in every classroom and subject area. Here are a few sample lesson plans (from Hopscotch) that you can encourage in your classroom.

Student Showcase

Be sure to reach out if your students create a program that others should see. Use the new screen capture tools for iPad to make a video that shows all your steps. I would also be happy to meet with students to film their project.
