Hour of Code

Khan Academy Hour of Code


Today we are learning about coding through Khan Academy.  Students worked through a range of tutorials and experimented with creating snowmen and other pictures.  
Here are  couple of examples from the early stages of our coding.
The main part of Hannah N's Snowman
Milan's start to a face.
Sita's duck.
We will share more as we explore coding.
Rimu Class students explore and enjoy Coding.

Update...We can add colour-
What do you mean the teacher doesn't know how to use coding?
Nathan on code:  Keen to code for more than an hour.  It keeps my brain working hard.

Caleb:  It is really good because it gets our brains switched on and working.  It gets us frustrated but it's fun figuring out what you can do.
Callum:  I really like it because you can work at it as a team to figure out the codes.

The 'Hour of Code' is a nationwide initiative by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org to introduce millions of students to one hour of computer science and computer programming. Created by Pamela Fox.

    Coding is on of my favourite things to do. I feel like I got the hang of it pretty quickly.

  6. Salut Miss Waho and Rimu class it's Alyscia here.
    The coding for an hour was boring and annoying for me because all i was doing was pretty much waiting and sitting there for it to load.
    But I bet it was fun for every one else.
    Au Revoir.

    I love the coding site Ehh!!!! I would love to use it again but for some reason I find it really helpful so if there is any other sites that uses coding you could use your coding strategy on it.
    Anyway
    Comment you later!
