The lesson plans, preparation and resources will help me get started, stay organized and have a clear path for myself and my students. My next step is to take the fundamentals course to start learning more of the basics.
A question I have is will I qualify as a verified teacher and what courses I need to complete to help that process.
The self-paced professional learning course for teachers is a great idea for me. The fact that I can create a classroom section and assign courses to my learner(s), manage their progress through the course and also access additional teacher resources within the section is so amazing, KUDOS! to code.org for making teaching CS a great experience.
What’s next for me? I have to patiently and consistently navigate the code.org website to be well equipped for my learner(s)
My question is should depend only on the student resources available in the course unit or can employ the use of some 3rd party resources?
Is there an app version for android or IOS for learners who only have access to tablets?
Code.org has complete lesson plans! I would be reviewing those to see which ones to use for my students. How do I go through those efficiently so that I won’t take too much time?
Showing students progress and also letting me to respond through the system seems very manageable. My nest steps are creating the classes and keeping self-paced learning myself.
We can track our students’ progress and view lesson plans.
Code.org has many features that seem to help with teaching. It’s good that you can view what your students are working on and their progress in those tasks. It’s also nice that they give you an overview of the lesson, resources, and even help with the agenda. I’m looking forward to getting started after finishing these lessons, which is my next step. My question is, how do I get this into the schools in my county here in FL.
My kids are used to going to a different site other than GC for their math work (We use Thinkwell online math), so I like that it is similar to this interface.
My next step is to finish training, figure out what I want to offer the students, who will be interested in the class, and when to offer it (our schedule is very flexible.)
Code.org provides professional learning opportunities to grow my understanding and practice application. It provides opportunities to check out their upcoming content in Incubator, and project creation. Its curriculum catalog has a large number of lessons including their standards, assignments that students can access in an LMS (mine is Schoology.) Class sections can be set up and student progress can be monitored. I believe class set up and lesson assignments are my next steps. I am still not sure how to integrate the lessons with Schoology.
Being able to look at standards helps me be able to align the activities with what I am teaching in the classroom. My next steps are to explore the activities and standards.
Code.org dashboard gives me the access I need to plan, implement, and track students data. It is almost a one stop shop it seems.
