Never tried it? Here's a step by step guide for getting started:
Choose a tutorial from Code.org and sign up on their website.
Plan your technology needs.
Hour of Code tutorials work on PCs, smartphones, tablets, and some that require no computer at all!
Work in pairs. Research shows students learn best with pair programming, sharing a computer and working together. Encourage your students to double up.
Go unplugged. We offer tutorials that require no computer at all.
Make sure to test tutorials on student computers or devices to ensure they work properly on browsers with sound and video.
Show an inspiring video or invite someone (speaker, teacher, parent, past student) to talk about the possibilities in computer science.
Check out this new video playlist that focuses on creativity from Code.org.
Direct students to the tutorial and begin coding.
Remember to share the excitement with families, consider sending this one pager home in an email. Share something with Ashley to include on social media!
