My Name is Catherine Kenny. I am a 20 year veteran educator who taught 3-6 grade before taking a leap into gifted education. I am currently facilitating a 6th grade makerspace in a new school system in Pike Road, AL. We are a standards based, pbl school with 1:1 technology.
Believing that students are innovative thinkers, not just learners, one of my main goals is to help them develop critical thinking and creative problem solving skills. One way to develop and practice these skills is through Code.org courses. Although I have guided our learners through various courses over the past few years, we are working through the express course this year. I also pair the Code.org courses with Scratch for additional application practice.
