Greetings All,
I am Jenn Wheeler from Spokane Washington. I run a STEAMLab for K-6th grade students. I am looking for folks with similar jobs so we can collaborate.
Chocolate cashew milk ice cream is lovely!
Привет! Меня зовут Елена.Я живу в Украине. Мне 36 лет. У меня есть сын. Ему 10 лет. Я с мужем более 10 лет работаю в сфере информационных технологий. Сейчас у моего мужа не большая фирма по предоставлению IT услуг. Недавно я заметила, что в нашем городе не так много уделяют внимания развитию компьютерной грамотности у детей. То есть, уроки информатики в школах есть, но там даются поверхностные знания. Поэтому в сентябре прошлого года я открыла частные курсы по обучению компьютерной грамотности в моем городе. На данный момент у меня обучается 17 учеников, среди которых и мой сын. Пока я обучаю их пользованию компьютером и разным интересным функциям.
Приблизительно 2 года назад я узнала про code.org. Мой сын очень любил проходить задания по игре Minecraft. Поэтому я захотела проводить такие занятия по программированию и для других детей нашего города.
Так как у меня нет образования педагога и занимаюсь я этой деятельностью как самоучка, мне интересны любые курсы, которые бы могли повысить мой уровень в преподавании.
Буду рада новым знакомствам, а также, советам.

Hi. My name is Mark. I worked at an international school in Thailand, I’m a Grade 4 teacher currently. I’m quite into tech, but that interested has never extended into coding. I’m hoping I can straighten that up here. Living here, by the beach, with my wife and two kids.

Just signed up after seeing the segment on 60 minutes.
Do I have to wait until after I attend the in-person training during summer to implement this program or is there a way I can start it now?
Welcome Jose! Glad to hear that the 60 Minutes piece inspired you. Our curriculum is available to all; you can begin using before attending an in-person workshop. Are you registered for one? If not, I suggest doing so here: https://code.org/professional-development-workshops
