TF Digital Tech Literacy: PETE&C Code.org Overview Presentation & Links

Introduction

Digital Literacy Class: We are going to learn about so many incredible ways to be creative, collaborative, and to communicate. We will focus on computer skills and applications. Some topics you already know about, and you will know better, and other topics and applications will be new to you! Either way, we will work together to find the ones you are able to use best. This class consists of Project-Based-Learning. You will be given plenty of time to learn the skills and applications that you will use for a lifetime. I hope you enjoy the material we will cover. - Mr. S

Yesterday I had the privilege of being invited to present at PETE&C. My Sunday Session, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm allowed attendees to participate in a hands-on, interactive workshop to present an overview of the Code.org Curriculum. We discussed how is was created, the main reasons it exists, and showed examples (especially unplugged activities) for each of the different levels in the Course Catalog found on the website. Special emphasis was placed on the K5 Fundamentals and CS Discoveries programs. Connections with the Hour of Code were also presented. Links to the presentation slides, and to the conference itself are listed below. For more information about Code.org, PETE&C, or any other Educational Technology topic, please contact me right away. If I do not know the answers, I can help you find someone that does!

Overall Academic Class Standards

SELF-ASSESSMENTS

Student Self-Assessments refer to training students to evaluate themselves, and their work, for the purpose of improving outcomes. To become capable evaluators of their work, students must have:

- a clear target (goal)

- the opportunity to help create definitions of the quality of work.

- the opportunity to correct, or self-adjust, their work before turning it in.

Students are also prompted to reflect and evaluate strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement. These skills will allow for planning, improvement, goal-setting, and reflection. Emphasis will be placed on integration of previous learning across the school curriculum.
