WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
During this innovation workshop, educators will experience coding in a
whole new way. Throughout the day educators will experience the joy of
coding like students through mini-challenges that will take them
through the design thinking process.
In this four-part workshop, I will provide participants with:
Part 1: Understanding “why” coding is a skill all students and
educators need
Part 2: Digging Deep into “how” the magic of coding supports all
subjects
Part 3: Experience and explore “what” educators can do tomorrow
in their classrooms with coding
Part 4: Design a Plan
The participants will discover practical, innovative ways to involve
students in coding activities that incorporate problem-solving,
critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and much, much more!
They will leave with access to the latest, most useful websites, apps,
and technology resources for facilitating coding and enhancing student
achievement.
This workshop participants need no prior training is needed for you to
be a facilitator of coding. Whether you are tech timid or tech-savvy,
you will find an abundance of resources. I will help you sort through
the wealth of resources and highlight for you the best and most
effective ones to be a facilitator of coding to students.
Bring your devices! We will be working through many projects and you
will leave with not only the inspiration but also many resources,
project ideas, and lessons that you can use with students
immediately. There is not just one way to teach coding. I will help
you get started and give you the tools and resources you need to move
your students onward.
KEY BENEFITS OF ATTENDING
*
Articulate why Coding is the “New Literacy”
*
How the implementation of coding not only promotes critical thinking,
creativity, problem-solving but also communication and collaboration.
*
Stimulates learners to become self-directed.
*
Increases math concepts such as reasoning, spatial awareness, and
sequencing.
*
Explore how coding develops the students' self-confidence.
*
Become familiar with the availability of many online and offline
resources to facilitate coding.
*
Be empowered through collaborating with like-minded educators
Technology is everywhere and it’s not going anywhere. Science,
technology, engineering and math (STEM), especially when integrated
with other disciplines, are the skills of the future. We need to equip
students with the critical skills they need to navigate the world we
live in today and thrive in the future.
IT’S IMPORTANT FOR ADOLESCENTS AND TEENS TO LEARN TO CODE FOR A FEW
REASONS:
*
Coding is a superpower. Learning to code lets students build – not
just consume the technology around them like video games, websites,
robots and more.
*
Coding helps students develop new ways of thinking. Learning to code
helps students develop other crucial and transferable skills – like
computational thinking – allowing them to tackle problems, outside
the realm of coding, in new and innovative ways.
*
Coding helps students understand the world around them better. If we
teach biology and mathematics in order to understand the world around
them, then knowing the basics of how computers communicate and how to
engage with them should be a given.
*
Coding can help change the world. Empower students to use technology
as a creative tool to build solutions for problems or everyday
challenges people face.
*
Coding is fun! Students experience the satisfaction and thrill of
building something.
