The most wonderful time of the year!

It's Computer Science Education Week!   While it may not be what most people define as "the most wonderful time of the year," it's a pretty awesome week in the media center at Stough and in many libraries and computer labs across the country.  (You can read about how libraries are leading this movement here.)

Third, Fourth and Fifth grade students are spending their time in the media center learning the basics of writing computer code.   They are using activities designed by Code.org, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to computer science.  These activities naturally lead students to Collaborate, Communicate, think Critically, and Create, all of the "4 C's" of 21st Century learning.  

To try the activities we've been using, you can visit this page on the Stough Media site.   For additional Coding activities, you can visit the coding page in the technology section of the Stough Website.
