It’s coming! Code.org’s Hour of Code week is December 3-9, 2018. Don’t miss out on this week of emphasizing Computer Science in Education, and join a worldwide effort to promote a highly relevant and in-demand discipline in our ever changing world. If you have not heard of this event, take some time to check out this video highlighting the excitement and benefits of participating. It is a worldwide event designed to engage and promote computer science by asking teachers and students to commit to one hour at any point in the week to do computer programming with any of the Hour of Code activities or courses available on their site. There is also a How-to page available to guide you, along with a chance to win robotic or circuit kits when you sign up. Be sure to get parent permission before logging students on to Code.org. Did you know… "Promote Computer Science | Code.org." https://code.org/promote. Accessed 27 Nov. 2018. The world around us reflects a need for educators to consider new options for students. We can begin with a small venture into this discipline called “computer science” by participating in Hour of Code next week. Your instructional and technology coaches are ready to support you in this exciting global movement!
