Hour of Code

This morning in class we participated in Hour of Code week. This week schools are challenged to engage all students in at least one hour of computer coding activities. We accomplished this goal by using the iPad cart from the library and an app called Kodable. The kids worked to get a puff ball through mazes, collecting coins along the way. They had to think multiple steps ahead to reach their goal. We discussed persevering through challenges and how getting good at something takes practice. I helped them through the first few levels but then left it up to them to find and fix their own mistakes. They got frustrated at times but the reward of solving a puzzle was worth the challenge. Below is a video and some pictures. :)
