Programming in the Primary Grades - Beyond the Hour of Code

Informationen zum Autor By Sam Patterson Klappentext Programming in the Primary Grades demystifies teaching core content through programming. Without becoming a step by step guide, the text helps teachers visualize and implement learning activities that build on the engagement and excitement students' experience when they are programming. While the focus of the book is programming, it isn't about the technology. Dr. Patterson helps teachers visualize and plan engaging and empowering lessons that use programming as a way for students to share their developing understanding of a subject. Whether you have no tech or a full one to one program, Programming in the Primary Grades will get you programming with your kids in no time.
