LESSON 3 Hour of Code
Teacher Preparation - Watch the Video!
Goal: Begin to learn how to code using block programming and to learn about real life applications of coding.
Step 1 1. Hand out student password cards. 2. Have students watch the video "Hour of Code" to help tthem log into code.org. 2. Tell the students which Hour of Code activity to select, such as Minecraft or Star Wars. 3. Ask students to complete as much of the activity as they can within the allotted time. I recommend using an hour session or two half hour sessions. 4. Ask students to try and use the fewest moves as possible. Step 2 1. Have students watch the video "Computer Science is Changing Everything" from Hour of Code. 2. Direct them to go to the Word Search Generator website and enter 20 or more words from the "Computer Science is Changing Everything" video to create their own word search. 3. Challenge them to use as many coding occupations as possible to make up their word lists! Instruct them to enter their first name and last initial as the title. 4. Direct your students to either print and/or take a screen capture of their word search. Students may enjoy taking home the word search for a family member to try. |
