Coding in the classroom can be described as a somewhat language – just as French and Spanish. However – CSS, Javascript and Visual Basic are far too complicated for early level learners.

One program I highly recommend to other teaching staff is Scratch Jr. – an app for tablets. It allows the learner to explore coding in a simple form by stringing action buttons together. This weeks task in Digital Technologies was to create a HowTo guide for teachers on Scratch Jr. This is why I decided to create this video instead of the popular ways of PowerPoint and Padlet.

In the classroom, apps like this are invaluable! Coding covers much of the curriculum and allows for easy coverage of the E’s & O’s.

Here is my video:
