Hour of Code is great but now that your students enjoyed it, do more! We discuss how to use physical activities like ThinkFun's Code On The Brink, Blue, Ozobot, and Lego Spike.
Then we dive into more free and engaging lesson for grades k-12 from code.org. We also discuss Khan Academy, Code Academy, and CodeHS. And as always we celebrate and bless great teachers.
