Coding is a very useful skill for teachers to have as coding can be integrated into subjects other than tech and math such as art and music. Rich McCue has created a useful document on his blog for those looking to learn how to code on their own. He suggests websites and programs for gentle introduction into the world of coding accessible to students and teachers alike. The resources he shares all have their own benefits and are useful for any teacher looking to introduce coding into their classroom.
Coding can help teachers supplement their students’ learning in many subjects and can help students develop their tech literacy so they can engage fully with the world they are immersed. You can use these programs in your classroom for teaching students about colour, shape, and reading. Spending 10 minutes a week in your class working on coding can help cement those concepts for your students’ learning.
Happy Coding!!
