"You never know when you will be the catalyst in someone's life."
The other day a parent and 2nd grade student showed up in my classroom before school inquiring about accessing more coding activities. The child had loved doing the coding activities with my class and wanted MORE. They had even done activities on the Code.org website at home. It became a great opportunity to share. There was a spark in that little girl's eyes!
Love this whole story. What do you think it is about coding...or better yet the challenge of learning to code that students like to do it so much? Is it because it's new and novel? Or does it have to do with the way they set up the learning activities? Just wondering if we can learn anything from code.org that we could use while creating activities in our own classrooms for learning.
