Grade 9 Coding - No fear! Resources will be shared here.
When we embarked at first in coding with teachers and students within TLDSB, we were looking to introduce coding. Very quickly, we realized the powerful and deep connections to thinking, creativity and curriculum. As we continue to move forward, we are trying to increase the number of students and teachers within our board who can code. This site is a resource to provide support and coding challenges and at the same time help connect coding to thinking, creativity, and curriculum.
We do not encourage staff and students to code because it seems to be the fad for today's students. We believe that coding is a fantastic way for students to get excited about something AND learn so many valuable skills. As Seymour Papert believed, 'computer programming involved students teaching the computer how to think, and in doing so, the student would begin to consider how they themselves think'.
Are you interested in learning how to code with your students, but you don't know where to start? Let us help you with that. Check out our 'Where do I start?' page on this website for resources for the beginner, intermediate, and advanced coders in your classroom.
