Teacher led Hour of Code lesson plans - by grade and subject Now that tens of thousands of educators have tried the Hour of Code, many classrooms are ready for more creative, less one-size-fits-all activities that teach the basics of computer science. To help teachers find inspiration, we collected and curated one-hour teacher-led lesson and activity plans designed for different subject areas for Hour of Code veterans.

7 apps para aprender a programar jugando con el Ipad – Programamos 4. Kodable Aunque en principio es gratuita, al instalarla comprobamos que tan solo tendremos disponibles los escenarios básicos. Un total de 45, más que suficiente para poder probarlo y decidir si queremos más, en cuyo caso tocará pagar. Existen dos posibilidades, ir comprando nuevas ampliaciones (por 1,79 euros cada una) o bien pasarnos a la versión Pro y desbloquearlo todo por unos 5,99 euros. Es una aplicación pensada para ser usada desde los 5 años. Aunque no sea totalmente gratuita es una buena opción a considerar. 5. Aplicación parecida a la anterior, tiene una parte gratuita y si queremos más (40 niveles) tendremos que comprarla por 2,69 euros. La interfaz es muy simpática e intuitiva a la vez. Al igual que la aplicación anterior, está indicada para que los más pequeños puedan desarrollar y entrenar la lógica, aprendiendo a programar, mientras se divierten jugando. 6. 7. Por último, volvemos a sacar una app de la que recientemente os hemos hablado en Programamos. ¿No te acuerdas?.

Introduction to ScratchJr | Making things... Learning Things [Note: Updated, April 22, 2015] App Name – ScratchJrCost – FreeWebsite – Tablets – iOS and AndroidDeveloped by – Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tufts UniversityiOS Download – Download – What is ScratchJr? Scratch Jr is a tablet app that young children can use to create simple programs such as stories, games and animations. Despite the fact that MIT’s Scratch ( is probably the most accessible programming environment for children, you might be looking for an even simpler coding learning environment, perhaps for very young children. Both environments allow users to move and connect coding blocks to control the actions of characters (called sprites) within a rectangular window (called a stage). Is ScratchJr the iPad version of Scratch? No, ScratchJr is not the iPad version of Scratch. Grade One Grade Two

Worksheets | My Beebot Posted by mleone in C. trackback C and R have been sharing ideas when creating resources. The following worksheets were developed to use when investigating the properties of Beebots. The worksheets are to be used to record results of investigations. The first three worksheets are used to look at measurement – distance. These worksheets were developed to introduce students to more problem solving activities. Some of these worksheets will be used at our Gifted and Talented day later this week. Like this: Like Loading...

Scratch Jr. Tutorials for Primary Students | Engage Their Minds Last week, I encouraged you to participate in this year’s Hour of Code. I know that guiding a classroom of students through an hour of programming can sound intimidating, particularly if you aren’t experienced in it yourself. The secret is to do as I have – admit to yourself that you know nothing and your students are smarter than you. Trust me, it makes life easier and a lot more enjoyable Any grade level can do the Hour of Code. Code.org makes it very easy to moderate lessons for all ages and levels of experience. Take Sam Patterson (@SamPatue), for example. I haven’t had a chance to jump in to Scratch Jr. yet with my students this year, but watching Sam’s tutorials makes me want to try it tomorrow. UPDATE 11/18/14: For even more Scratch Jr. activities and video tutorials, check out the “Teach” section on the Scratch Jr. website. If you’d like to access some more resource for teaching kids to code, check out my Programming for Kids Pinterest Board! Like this: Like Loading...

APPRENDIENDO CON ROBOTICA: BEE BOT Desde este mes de enero, varios compañeros de nuestro centro (C.E.I.P. Gil Tarín en La Muela, Zaragoza) hemos empezado a pensar y trabajar en el diseño de actividades educativas, utilizando el robot Bee Bot como herramienta para abordar los contenidos curriculares de los diferentes niveles y áreas curriculares. Bee bot es una “abeja-robot” cuyos movimientos se realizan en ángulos de noventa grados, y que debe programarse para conseguir una secuencia coherente sobre cada plantilla. Así, con una programación adecuada, la abeja-robot realizará la tarea y movimientos que los niños hayan programado previamente, ya que tiene una sencillísima e intuitiva disposición en una interfaz para niños. La posibilidades de este material son infinitas, proporcionando a los niños una manera más creativa y motivadora de acercarse a diversos contenidos educativos.

Scratching the Surface: coding with Year 2 So some of you may know that this year, after 13 years of being a primary classroom teacher, I've moved into a specialist teaching role as Head of Computing. This has been great for me and I'm really enjoying getting to teach kids all the way from age 4 to 11. With the switch from ICT to Computing and the increased focus on computer science, coding was naturally top of my list of content to develop and ensure progression across each year group. For the uninitiated, Scratch Jr is the streamlined app version of the acclaimed visual programming language developed at MIT. Much has been made in the UK press about the new KS1 curriculum's inclusion of algorithmic comprehension. So what I have for you here is a sequence of lesson ideas and resources that I've put together to deliver just that, using Scratch Jr as the medium. CODE BLOCK INQUIRY Scratch Jr has fewer blocks than the full program which is great for younger kids. ALGO-WHATNOWS? (AND REPEAT BLOCKS!) WAS IT ALL WORTH IT?
