Ready to roll my eyes...

I was so ready to roll my eyes at yet another video on 21st Century Teaching...

Soooo...glad I didn't pass up the opportunity to engage with this one.
Kevin Robert's Prezi presentation is one that has future direction written all over it, in it, around it.

Decide for yourself...

Did you know that students at Ephrata High School have their own, newly-styled MOVEMENT!

It’s called the Association of Making and Doing.

The first endeavor of this movement is the CODING COLLABORATORY.
Yes.
You heard that right…CO-DING COL-LA-BOR-A-TOR-Y.
(Also Know As… The Hour of Code)

The next gathering of the CODING COLLABORATORY is scheduled for Wednesday, November 13 from 2:40 to 3:30 in CL 219.

Remember, tinkerers are welcome, experimentation is expected, and learning by doing is all part of the grand plan.

We had a great turnout for our Hour of Code last week…

So, come one, come all, and don’t forget to bring a friend!

PS - We started last week and are using the after-school program from Code Academy as our guide.
More to come...

Liking ThingLink as a replacement tool for our 10th Grade Civil Rights Projects...

The Beard Hat is a funky example, but thanks to Stevie Kline for her lead on this tool.

Also, like the idea of using an InfoGraphic or designing an InfoGraphic as a base and adding dimension with this tool.
