Before class:
- Search the internet for computational thinking and K-12 curriculum integration examples and share them here.
You can find lesson plan templates and project rubrics in the link above. Make a copy of the Google Doc before you make changes. Two sample lesson plans are provided. Think critically about them because they are not meant to be perfect.
A little more clarification: The core of the project is to teach the subject content you have selected to k-12 students, using the programming tools, not the coding itself. Students may be asked to code something, or not, depending on the design of your lesson. If you want them to code, how should you teach them to code? You should have a good rationale for your decisions on these issues.
During the last class, you formed your group, decided on your project topic, and explored Scratch. Today we are going to learn some basics about Scratch and then practice coding by remixing some of the existing projects on Scratch. We are going to take the "use -- modify -- create" approach to learn how to use Scratch.
HOMEWORK:
- Work on your Genius Hour project. Post #2 is due October 18th, Friday, before class.
