Blog #7 Why Coding?

Coding can be effectively integrated into my teaching in a lot of fun and exciting ways. I really liked what we did in class with the finch robots and the humming birds. When you integrate robots and coding many different subjects are integrated into one lesson. Coding allows you to teach many different things at once. To effectively integrate coding you need to be specific and clear on your expectations about what needs to be done. As a teacher you need to be informed and ready to answer questions students may have. It is a great way for students to become engaged and excited about learning.

There are so many new and exciting technological advances in the world today. Coding will help your students be prepared for the present and future. Coding can help your students become familiar with technology that is useful for them. Coding can help in other areas as well. If students code in groups they will learn skills on team work and communication. Team work and communication are important skills students should develop to help them in different areas of their lives. My biggest goal regarding coding is to become more familiar with it. I want to be able to know what I am doing and really help my students understand coding as well.
