National Week of Code: Coding at Roosevelt, Alliance Charter, and Tullar Elementary Schools

Coding at Roosevelt, Alliance Charter, and Tullar Elementary Schools

I love to see my students get excited about new things.  Even better, I love to see them "think" they won't be able to do something and then rock it! 

This week and next week, students at my three schools will be celebrating the National Week of Code. Computer programming/coding has come a LOOOOOONG way since I was a student. in the 1970's 1980's 1990s. Many thanks to the parent volunteers to who helped students get started.

Many of my students asked if they could continue to code at home. Below are the websites and apps we used -- although there are a TON more out there!

Free iPad Apps:

Kodable

Lightbot

Hopscotch

Coding Websites for Kids (and Grown Up, Too!)

This is as basic, beginners website -- perfect weather you are 8 or 80. Okay, to be honest, it's perfect whether you are 4 or 94!

Code with the Angry Birds: Studio Code

Although this site is a little more complicated, students loved having Frozen's Anna 

Code with Anna and Elsa from Disney's Frozen

This is the most complicated coding websites students tried -- although most were still able to do it! What students enjoyed the most about this site was that once they programmed a Christmas tree light display, their display would ACTUALLY play on the Wisconsin State Tree at the White House!  Pretty cool!
