Participants will get an overview of various free and paid coding applications and the research behind them that shows their connection to Math, Reading, and Science state standards. I will give examples of how I use CodeSpark, Scratch, Tynker, and Code Monkey with Elementary students. Participants will be able to spend the bulk of the session exploring various coding apps and analyzing how they can incorporate them into their learning plans/units. Presentation Slides

  • Diversity I will begin my session with a disclaimer that earlier exposure to coding and computer science will give all students, in particular girls and students of color, an advantage in high school and college to seek out STEM careers. That they also promote higher-order thinking skills and build confidence. I will also share digital resources that are both free to schools and paid to ensure that all participants can take back at least one app that they want to use with their students.
