If you are interested in K-5 coding curriculum that can be used in-person in the classroom or virtually for distance learning, join me for my Get Started With Code Wherever You Are session at the CSTA Conference on July 14!
- Get Started With Code Wherever You Are
I love sharing great resources for teachers and students on how to make computer science experiences available to students even during distance learning, virtual learning, hybrid learning or in-person situations.
Everyone Can Code and Develop In Swift Curriculum
Apple has free teacher and student guides available in the Apple Book Store in the Books app on the iPad or Mac computer. The curriculum guides include ways to introduce coding concepts and key vocabulary, activities to help students better understand the concepts by through everyday activities, practice with block-based apps at the elementary level, and reflection activities that allow for using other apps to create multimedia responses that demonstrate student learning.
