Classroom Coding with Google Tools

November 19, 2019 ♦ 7:00pm - 8:30pm ET

Moderators: Stephanie Bass, Kevin Bower and Darshell Silva

Session Description: It is important for students at all grade levels to have exposure to computational thinking and coding. Learning to code helps students understand problem solving and logic while expressing their creative side. While increasing student fluency in coding technologies helps them to be prepared for many academic pursuits, it also helps them to build perseverance, determination, and grit. Join us to explore a few cool tools that will help as you embark on this journey with your class. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.

As a result of this session teachers will:

1. Understand the components of computational thinking;
2. Explore tools that engage students in coding; and
3. Plan for the use of coding activities in the classroom.
