WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Coding is the “New Literacy.” Our students are growing up in a
quickly changing digital world and coding is a language they’ll need
to know. Coding promotes problem solving, critical thinking,
creativity, communication, collaboration, reasoning, spatial
awareness, sequencing, and so much more. It is STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math) education at its best!
The introduction and teaching of coding has been gaining interest and
generating buzz the last two years. This seminar is designed to put
you in the coding seat and work the projects that you can implement
the very next day. As a tech specialist, myself, it is always my aim
to support my colleagues. Practical strategies for Computer Science
teachers and tech specialists in these roles will be infused to assist
colleagues as they attempt coding for the first time.
I have designed this seminar specifically to teach Computer Science
teachers and Technology Integration specialists how to teach coding in
grades 6-12. 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
teach coding to students in grades 6-12. We will look at ways to
design lessons and projects to teach and infuse coding into everyday
curricula. We will discuss the research and real-world application
and dive deeply into extension lessons for coding. Bring your
devices! We will be working through many of the projects and you will
leave with not only the inspiration, but complete projects 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 forward.
I look forward to meeting you at the seminar. The day promises to be
a day filled with practical activities, ideas, tips and resources that
will empower you to infuse coding and reveal the magic behind the
screens! Bring your laptop or device…we are going to roll up our
sleeves and get our hands dirty with code!
Sincerely,
Kevin M. Steele, Ed.S.
P.S. I know how valuable your teaching time is to you, so I have
planned an active day, packed with lessons, and resources that if you
choose, can be immediately implemented with your own grade 6-12
students.
