Finding my way...

Computer Programing in Summer School

I did a "brave."

I've taught English and writing based curriculum for many years now (well, a few more than twenty). The farthest I've branched out is journalism at the high school level.  

I had been itching for a change before I got the job as the technical coach for Gretna Public Schools.  To feed that desire the switch things up, I applied to teach computer programming in summer school for Logan Fontenelle Middle School.  Luckily, I was approved and I started working with the Apple "Learn to Code 1" materials to design a four-week course. 

Picture
The GOOD:
  • Wow, I had some awesome kids.  
  • The curriculum from @Apple went relatively smoothly with slight adjustments for temperament and age of the class. 
  • This was a big step up from Scratch and block type codes and the kids really responded to it.
  • I had fun.
The INTERESTING:
  • Incoming 7th graders are 6th graders (seems intuitive, but I was absolutely surprised when reflecting on differences in behaviors, attention, gaming, and cognition. 
  • The curriculum provided by @Apple needs augmentation for a group as young as 6th graders.   I relied on @Flocabulary, @Kahoot, @Quizizz, @Quizlett, @Classkick, @Piccollage, @Parrot, @WonderWorkshop to give the lessons the needed "pop" and reinforcement.

Computer programming is one of the skills that I want to learn. I know that it is not an easy skill to acquire, but I am up to the challenge. I am not that good with socializing, but I am pretty good at technology related stuff. I want to develop my skills in computer programming so that I can make my own game. I will do my best to be the best in this field that I am trying to go.

The most important is to let the site viewers know about what they haven't head or know which many people fail to do, when it comes to passing the rightful information and today i have seen someone <a href="https://matchertech.com/toxicwap-music-downloading-site/"><strong>standing up with the rightful information to educate other</strong>.</a> i most say you have done a good job, your article are well written and anyone can easily understand it. Keep on posting because i will definitely come back to take a view But before i leave, i <a href="https://matchertech.com/toxicwap-music-downloading-site/"><strong>will also like to say something about this</strong></a> who knows it may be of help to you. Thanks for this great tip.
