Practical Guide to the Hour of Code

oh the plaCeS you WIll Code

Coding in the administrative suite

During National Computer Science Education Week, students were found working on the Hour of Code ™ just about everywhere in the building! Students at Middleburg Elementary School visited the office and grabbed a corner of the floor to sit and code with the school administrative team! These administrators, Mrs. Wilkerson and Mrs. Wright, jumped right in and did not miss the opportunity to support their students on their pathway toward acquiring the skills needed for the jobs of the future! Wright reported, “ Our resource team used their PLC time to plan Hour of Code ™ activities to be integrated into the students' daily resource classes EVERY day of the week that week. In addition, classroom teachers planned additional coding lessons in their classrooms for 20 minutes each day. Classroom teachers integrated coding into their math and science blocks. Administrators participated in coding activities with students in their resource classes including Dance Party and the creation of a video game Dungeon Escape. Students taught the administrators how to code for the dance party and Dungeon Escape game and then administration tried their coding skills, ending with administrators and students dancing along with their characters created through coding on their computers. ” 5
