“A parent stopped me during a recent social at our school to tell me how excited her son was to program an app. While we aren’t programming apps in class, I’d sure like to learn how! A friend of mine and I have been discussing the idea about creating a Coding Club at our school. We will not start out on iOS development but rather coding for computer programming. I’m not sure if we will start with Ruby, Java, C+, HTML, etc… I have a few friends who are fluent in several languages. I’m counting on their advice and guidance. I know this will happen, soon (if we believe it will happen – it will), and I’m very excited about the potential this will have for students.
I shared a series of inspiring videos in class prior to our trip to The Henry Ford Museum. The students enjoyed our morning of investigating inventions. This ‘lesson’ was not planned. In fact, it was student driven based on the spontaneous conversations the students generated. As the class began to discuss certain topics, I was inspired to facilitate their chats by sharing brief ideas I’ve learned through my PLN on Twitter.” To read further please click here: http://www.kleinspiration.com/2013/03/computer-coding-for-kids.html?spref=tw
