CODING ANYONE? This past year we were very fortunate to have someone teach technology to our K-2 students. At first, I couldn't really see how this would benefit our students. I mean they are K-2 kiddos! By the end of the school year, I was fortunate enough to watch this teacher in action and I was blown away! You see in our school district, we must observe other teachers in our building throughout the school year and fill out a form about what we saw, ideas we could use, questions we may have, etc. I was so amazed and inspired by what I saw. I didn't even realize how simple coding was. Let me also tell you that I was really afraid that this could be a waste because the class I was observing had many behavior issues. She used our #wholebrainteaching techniques and once they settled down, they were off and running. I mean it was so quiet.
