My Project

My elementary school is a rural area with not a lot of access to newer technology. As the librarian, I love technology and try to incorporate in my teaching as much as possible. Anytime I can teach coding to students, I love to. My students are very bright and love looking at projects that other schools can complete. My students deserve to know about all different types of technology. Technology is going to be part of their lives and I want to do my best to allow them as much access to it as possible. I would like to continue teaching coding to my students and introduce them to how coding works with a robot. My goals is to use the tablets to download the coding apps to work with Sphero and have them program the robots. I first want to introduce this to my 3rd-5th graders and have them explore coding with it. If they do really well with the coding, I would like to slowly introduce my 1st-2nd graders with it.

One reason I like coding is because of the problem solving skills that my students develop.

They have to work about the code then see if it actually works. So many students need to develop their problem solving skills. This will help them outside of school and hopefully will help them in life.
