Welcome to this week's Coding lesson! I know that some of you did not complete the lesson you were supposed to do in the last two weeks so there are two parts to this week's lesson:
- GO BACK and finish last week's lesson
- Do the new Minecraft Hour of Code lesson that I assigned to you
To see how to access your old lesson and your new lesson, watch the video. If you don't know or don't remember how to sign into your code.org account, scroll down the page and look at the lessons from the last few weeks, where I posted videos about how to log in and join your class with a class code the very first time you log in.
Remember, if you have any questions, email me at jkaplan@ps110q.org. If you leave me comments on google classroom, I probably won't see them.

Welcome to this week's lesson! This lesson is for the next TWO WEEKS, so you don't need to complete all of it in one week, but you should do at least some of it this week, and some next week. Watch the video to see how to get started, then click on the code.org link to log in to your account. Oh, and at the end of next week (on 6/13), all the students who completed all the levels of their assignment are going on a huge gigantic enormous PRIZE WHEEL and the winner will get a special prize delivered to their house!
Remember, if you have any questions, email me at jkaplan@ps110q.org. If you leave me comments on google classroom, I probably won't see them.

Hi everyone! We are going to start our new unit on coding and computer programming using Code.org! Last week's lesson was REALLY important, and a lot of you didn't do it! If that's you, scroll down the page to see last week's lesson and get yourself signed up for your code.org account right away.
If you already did your code.org signup last week, email me at jkaplan@ps110q.org (from your @ps110q.org account) and I will send you a special link so you can play some really fun games this week to celebrate being an awesome kid who does their work on time!
If you have any questions, or your parents have questions for me, you can always email me at jkaplan@ps110q.org.

Hi everyone! We are going to start our new unit on coding and computer programming using Code.org! This week's lesson is very simple: how to create your new account at code.org and join your class. The video below shows you how to do all of these steps, so you can read it or just watch the video.
Down the page a little bit, you will see a list of class codes. Write down your class code on a little piece of paper. You only need it for a minute and then you can throw the paper away. You will go to code.org by clicking on the CODE image below. Then you will click CONTINUE WITH GOOGLE in the red box. There, you will type your SCHOOL GOOGLE DRIVE USERNAME (like 22juliek@ps110q.org but using your name, not mine) and then your password on the next screen. This is the information you use EVERY DAY to sign into google classroom. The next screen will ask you to choose your account type, so tell them you are a student, and it will ask for your age. Don't change anything else on that page, only those two fields. After you have signed in, you will scroll down to the bottom to where it asks for your class code, and you will type the class code that you wrote down on the piece of paper. And that's it! That's all you need to do for today. You can sign out of your code.org account, and we will continue working on it next week.
Class codes:
- 3-1: WMGGPY
- 3-2: TQLDGZ
- 3-3: TQGGKV
- 3-4: GWNJMB
- 3-6: WSBKWR
- 3-7: GFHFQK
- 2/3-13: BQVRCT

Hi everyone! This week's lesson has three parts to it:
- Watch the short video below about how to check your school email. You should be checking your school email at least 2 or 3 times a week.
- Complete ALL the technology assignments that you skipped, if any, because every single lesson should be done by the end of this week. Scroll down this page to see all the lessons you were supposed to do. If you see one that you skipped, complete it. Really, it's very simple. If you see a lesson that you already did, DON'T complete it again. If you have already completed every lesson when you were supposed to, you are AWESOME!! (One more thing- I am reading ALL the answers so please do not type nonsense. I will delete your answer immediately if you just type random letters or other silliness and you will not get credit for that assignment.)
- Complete the very short little form below. When I ask you to type your @ps110q.org email, do not write something silly like "NO" or "WHY" or "I DON'T KNOW" or type a gmail account or some other random email account. Just type your school email/your username. We used it every week in class, so I don't know why so many of you can't seem to type it now!
Thanks! Scroll down for the video and form!
How to check your email.webmThis video is about how to check your email, but after I made it, I thought of something else. In the video, I pretend to be a student and I check my email and I'm excited to see an email with the subject line YOU WON!
Now, in real life, if someone you don't know sends you an email like that, it is probably a scam, and you should NOT open that email. But if it comes from someone you know, like your teacher, and you are positive that it is from them, then you can read the email. But just to be on the safe side, I won't send any emails with a subject line that sounds like a scam, like that one did.

Last week we learned about fake news and how to figure out who to trust. This week, for our last digital citizenship lesson, we are going to focus on a new topic: Safe and Strong Passwords. In school, your other teachers and I often create passwords for you because we need to keep track of your work and help you log in. But often in life you will need to create your own passwords, and it's super important for you to choose passwords that no one can guess or hack, because you don't want anyone else to have access to your accounts. Watch the video about creating a safe password, play the Tower of Treasure game, and complete the form to show what you learned!

Last week we learned about what to do if someone is trying to scam or trick you, and this week we are going to talk about fake news articles and attempts to trick large groups of people. This is a topic that's especially important now because in a time of crisis, there are always people who try to take advantage of others. There are people who claim that Covid-19 isn't real, or that it's not dangerous, or they say they have a cure for it. It's hard to know what to believe sometimes, but you don't want to get tricked into doing something that's not safe. For this lesson, you are going to watch a couple of videos that will help you identify trustworthy or fake news, and then complete a form. Please feel free to share these videos with anyone you know- grownups get tricked by fake news all the time and it's super important for everyone to think really hard about what they hear and read. There's no game this week but you can go back to previous lessons to play the games if you liked them. Kindness Kingdom is my personal favorite!

This week, we are getting back to the important topic of Digital Citizenship. Since we are spending more time online these days, it's important to think hard about what is real and what is fake, so that we don't get confused or hurt. Next week we are going to talk about fake news, which is when someone is trying to trick big groups of people into believing something. But this week, we are going to talk about when people are aiming their trickiness right at you. Sometimes people we talk to online will try to deceive or scam us. They might do this just to be mean, or they might be trying to get money from you. Talk to a grownup if you aren't sure! Read the vocabulary words below, watch the video, play the game and fill out the form!

IT's Spring Break! Time for a trip!!
IT's Spring Break! Time for a trip!!
Ok, ok, I know, we can't really go anywhere. But we can go someplace fun ONLINE! Check out the links below to go on a virtual field trip! You can go to as many of the sites as you want. Email me (jkaplan@ps110q.org) and tell me which virtual field trips you went on and what you liked about them. Enjoy!
This link will take you to the webcams to see live views of the animals, but there are also other games and activities on the zoo website. Explore and see what you find!
This national park is one of my FAVORITES. On the page I linked, you can scroll down and take virtual tours of many of the amazing landforms there. You can also click here to see a video I made of my own trip to Yellowstone a few summers ago.
Covid-19 might be all over Earth, but it's probably not on Mars! So take a little trip to check out the red planet. Enjoy!
And here's some extra fun!! Put some exciting ANIMALS in your house!!
And here's some extra fun!! Put some exciting ANIMALS in your house!!
Here's how it works: go to the internet app (chrome or safari) on your phone or tablet. Search for an animal like lion, tiger, cheetah, panda, penguin, turtle, or hedgehog. Scroll down a little and look for "View in 3D" and tap it. Soon you will see the animal IN YOUR HOUSE!!! Take some funny pictures of yourself with the animals! You can email them to me, but only with your parents' permission. I will not post them anywhere, but I will share them with your teacher if you want. DO NOT share the pictures anywhere without your parents' permission. To take a picture of what's on the screen (you and the animal) just tap the screen and then tap the circle at the bottom.

We are continuing our unit about Digital Citizenship, which means being kind and acting responsibly online. We are going to focus on different concepts each week, like passwords, cyberbullying, privacy, and avoiding tricky people. Last week we focused on Cyberbullying- how to deal with it and how to make sure we don't do it ourselves. If you didn't get a chance to participate, it's never too late- scroll down and complete the lessons from previous weeks!
This week, we are focusing on privacy. What information should we keep to ourselves? What information can we share, and with whom? Watch the video below, read the vocabulary words, play Mindful Mountain in either English or Spanish, and fill out the form! Hope you enjoy the lesson and learn something new. If you didn't get a chance to do lessons from earlier weeks, you can always go back and do them when you have time.

Hi everyone! My first lesson is all about using gmail to stay in touch with me and your friends. Watch the video, and remember a couple of things:
- If you are emailing with your friends and classmates, BE KIND. We are all stressed and maybe scared right now, but that is no excuse for cyber-bullying or making anyone feel sad or hurt. BE EXTRA SUPER KIND.
- Make sure it's ok with your parents for you to email your friends.
- Don't email your other teachers unless you ask them first in google classroom if it's ok. Some teachers want to only use google classroom to talk to kids, and that's fine. But you can email me any time you want.
- If you are using your tablet or phone, you can download the gmail app and log in with your school email. My video shows you what to do on a computer screen.
- Anyway, I love you and miss you, and I can't wait to get an email from each of you!
