This year, our 4th and 5th grade students participated in the Hour of Code.
Students were able to sign in with their Google accounts, which made things much easier this year. There were a variety of themes, from Star Wars, to Minecraft, to Angry Birds, to Frozen. It's a great chance for us to introduce the students to programming and explain a little about how things happen on the computer. It's always exciting to see those students who really get it and don't want to leave at the end of class! There were some students who even finished programming in Block Code and moved on to Java Script.
Common Sense Media has other helpful resources for anyone who would like to continue.
