I am excited about the possibilities of participation in the Hour of Code by students in all grades and schools in our district. Last year I saw first hand how students were enthused, inspired, and rewarded by the opportunity to practice computer programming using iPad apps and the online tools suggested by www.code.org. This year the "Hour" has been stretched to an entire week, December 8 - 14, 2014, in hopes that 100 million students around the world will experience coding...an ambitious goal, but given the tremedous support and excellent resources provided by Code.org, it's possible. Educatators and students register now at www.code.org. Be sure to watch the videos. They are truly inspirational!
