After watching the video, take a moment to reflect on and share your thoughts regarding the following:
-
#### What features are available on the [Code.org](http://Code.org) learning platform to support me in teaching?
-
#### What are my next steps?
-
#### What other questions do I have?

[Code.org](http://Code.org) has lesson plans, assessments, and allows me to track my students’ progress. My next step is to create class sections. My question is how to do that.

My question is GC related. In other curricula / software that links with GClassroom, there is normally a way to create a GC assignment post directly from the site. This one I’m not seeing much of a way except having them go thru [code.org](http://code.org) directly, so I have to just post the [code.org](http://code.org) login and remind them to use their Google school email?

This is annoying to me sometimes too. If I assign multiple units it will lead them to the dashboard and some get lost or distracted by other links. I found that if I copy the URL of the specific unit and post it to GC it will often (not always?) lead them right to that unit since their school issued chromebooks “remember” their login. But for that first unit I assign I initially have the sign in link. After signing in I also put the specific URL under it.

I appreciate that [Code.org](http://Code.org) has a place to record student progress and teacher feedback.

[Code.org](http://Code.org) has lesson plans, assessments, tracking progress for students.
Make a class is my next step and learning how to use with my class.

Viewing student progress for completion or if they need feedback, curriculum catalog, course overview, teacher resources., lesson plant and teacher guides.
Spend some time going through the resources. Are there unit plans already set up?

[Code.org](http://Code.org) offers lesson plans, videos, student progress tracking, and interactive activities to support teaching. My next step is to explore the dashboard, plan upcoming lessons, and try a few activities myself. I’d like to know more about how to differentiate lessons for students at different skill levels.

Hey am Allynn, I am really interested in the choice level for student progress. Sounds intriguing.
I hope there are step by step guides on how to complete these class set up cause i am bit lost there.
Excited to begin

Some of the features available on the [Code.org](http://Code.org) learning platform include: ease of navigation menus at the top of the website (Dashboard, Course Catalog, Projects, Professional Learning, etc). In my Dashboard, I can access the classes I created and view data on my students regarding their progress and provide feedback. Under Course Catalog, I can browse various courses tailored specifically for my students and for the grade level I am teaching. Under Professional Learning, I can find courses to learn new skills and abilities to better help my students. My next step is to create a class once I have my school roster, and also start lesson planning and selecting the beginning courses for my students.

[Code.org](http://Code.org) has everything organized in a logical progression, they have lesson plans, tips and resources. The course catalog is wonderful, and website navigation is relatively intuitive. I can create my class sections, view my students’ work and progress, and provide feedback. I love that this platform places equal emphasis on unplugged activities as plugged in activities and in each lesson has a preparation area so I know what i will need for each lesson.
My question will be setting up integration with [Code.org](http://Code.org) and Canvas.

There is the My Dashboard where I can add and manage class sections, view curricula, and other resources. You can enroll in professional development such as self-paced modules. My next steps are creating a class section, assigning a course to it, and updating the roster. I want to know if the roster is something I do manually or if the students can add themselves?

The video explained that I will need to create a section and add students to the section and assign work ot the students.

I love the platform [Code.org](http://Code.org) it provide lesson plans, assessments, and will allows me to track my students’ progress. My next step will be create my class, present the lessons and monitor their progress.

[Code.org](http://Code.org) has classes for my students, I can choose a learning unit and I can check my students progress and their work. Finally I have the possibility to learn about compute science. My next step is to use [code.org](http://code.org) to improve my knowledge.

[Code.org](http://Code.org) has lesson plans, assessments and additional resources to help me teach and to track student’s progress. I believe the next steps will be to find the AP curriculum and create a class section based on that curriculum. Right now, I have no further questions but I assume that will change!

The features I see are the lesson plans, ability to track progress, and assessments. I need to see if I have already set up a class and then to go from there to assigning a task.

The platform has provided me with many opportunities, not only with lesson plans, teaching content and tasks that I can work on with students, but also with the ability to monitor them and provide feedback. My next steps are to study everything thoroughly before implementing it - in September, when I start the BrAIn project with students. I admit, English is not my native language, so I have a little difficulty with monitoring and the language.
