[aisle] code.org through distance learning or an alternative

[Deb Kaczar]

Hi Charles,
My students are hybrid in person and remote, at the same time. They are
loving coding. I use the code courses A, B, C, D, E, and F for K-5.
I just put a link to the appropriate code course. If you are ambitious, you
can create login cards, and either get the cards to them, or give them
their passwords in chat--that is hard with the littles. I have not done the
login cards this year. Each week, I just have a link to another level, for
them to watch the video, or do that whole class, and then have them
self-pace through the lesson.
I am not using login cards, so it doesn't save their work. They are just as
happy to move to the new levels each week.
Good luck.
I sat down years ago, and did one of the code courses, just so I knew what
was going on.
I make sure to tell the kiddos to read the directions, or listen to them,
and not to forget that there are hints on the light bulb. I you need any
other information, feel free to reach out to me.

Have a great day!
