App Inventor is a free, cloud-based service that allows you to make your own mobile apps using a blocks based programming language. You access App Inventor using a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari). With these beginner-friendly tutorials, you will learn the basics of programming apps for Android devices. You will need: A Mac or Windows computer (see system requirements)An internet connection You will make a mobile app, so it's fun to see it run on a phone or tablet while you build the app (and after!). Choose which way you want to connect to run your apps, and follow the links to setup instructions: Android mobile device (phone or tablet) and wi-fiAndroid mobile device (phone or tablet) and a USB cableOn-screen emulator If you hit any snags, we're here to help! Teachers: Get support and tips for preparing for App Inventor hour of code with your students. We have four tutorials to try out for the Hour of Code. For each tutorial, we have multiple ways of accessing them: What's Next?
Teachers talk about TKP The TEACHERS resource section of the TKP site is organized as follows: General Topics for teachers on this site include the following: what we teach (i.e. which languages, software, IDEs, etc..),where we teach (i.e. links to events),who teaches (list of trained TKP teachers by location)how to teach the using the Intention Method (i.e. list of general teaching tips for all of our courseware) In addition we are adding teaching resources for each recipe (or lesson unit) to this site. text description of concepts taught by section of recipe (i.e. for recipe, for variation, for recap, for quiz, etc…)tips to teach each sectionshort video for teachers on teaching tips for that sectionXtras for that recipe – these can include warm-up (mini) recipes and more We welcome any and all feedback about the usability and usefullness of our courseware and teacher training materials.

Pencil Code the Hour of Code is coming On Monday, October 14, 2013, Code.org announced the “Hour of Code," a campaign to introduce 10 million students to one hour of Computer Science. Live stream of the announcement Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey Among Those Joining Campaign SAN FRANCISCO and SEATTLE – October 14, 2013 – Code.org, the non-profit dedicated to promoting computer science education, today announced a nationwide campaign calling on every K-12 student in America to join an "Hour of Code." The initiative asks schools, teachers and parents across the country to help introduce more than 10 million students of all ages to computer programming during Computer Science Education Week, December 9-15, 2013. The organization also announced the support of multiple organizations and individuals, including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Reid Hoffman and Jack Dorsey.

Simon Haughton's website: LOGO Programming I'm going to admit that the fourth lesson I do on LOGO is complicated - the understanding of the programming commands that is required is of a high level and any mistake made (even the tiniest one) will result in either commands not being executed properly or error messages popping up on screen. It is, however, a lesson which the children rose to the challenge of today and which they were extremely impressed with when they saw what on-screen patterns they had managed to produce by its end. The age-old saying "you only get out what you put in" was certainly true today! Last time, I showed the children how to use the REPEAT command to draw regular polygons and stars so the natural progression was therefore to teach them how to create procedures this time. I began by asking them to follow my demonstration on how to create a procedure which draws a triangle when it is called. The next procedure I asked the children to create was one which drew a square shape.
Curriculum Overview Who made this? We believe that every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science, and the reasons are far more varied than simply having a strong resume. Critical thinking, logic, persistence, and creativity help students excel at problem-solving in all subject areas, no matter what their age. At Code.org, we recognize that this benefit begins early. It is thanks to our generous donors that we were able to develop and can offer this course at no cost to schools, teachers, or students: Microsoft, Infosys Foundation USA, Omidyar Network, Google, Ballmer Family Giving, Ali and Hadi Partovi, Bill and Melinda Gates, BlackRock, Jeff Bezos, John and Ann Doerr, Juniper Networks, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, Quadrivium Foundation, Reid Hoffman, Salesforce, Sean N. Who is this for? Kids as young as five years-old! Computer Science Fundamentals is designed primarily for an elementary school audience, but older students find it to be a helpful starting point as well. Teachers!
