It鈥檚 everyone鈥檚 favorite time of year – no, not the holidays (ok, we love that, too). I鈥檓 talking about , the global movement that introduces students of all ages to computer programming. It takes place this year from Dec. 3 – 7 during Computer Science Week.
国产精品 has partnered with six great coding apps to make it really easy for your class to participate in Hour of Code. All six of these apps come with automatic account creation and single sign-on for students. 馃帀聽What does that mean for teachers? They don鈥檛 have to manually enter their students鈥 names and email addresses to create accounts! AND – students will automatically see the coding app(s) on their 国产精品 Portal when they log in.
Go ahead…install a coding app (or two) in the 聽! (P.S. they’re all free)
Do the extra credit:
- Get a digital 鈥淚 participated in Hour of Code鈥 sticker if your students log in to one of these six partner apps during the week of Dec. 3-7.
- Share how you鈥檙e participating in on Twitter and tag to be entered into a drawing to win a 国产精品 prize pack.
