Computer Science is an essential part of 21st Century Learning. It teaches problem-solving and analytic skills, not to mention, it prepares our students with the essential skills for their future career path. To help bring awareness to such a crucial subject, We celebrate Computer Science Week the first week of December. The goal of Computer Science Education (CSEd) Week is to bring to light how important it is to the K-12 curriculum. One way to showcase this topic is through coding. Hour of Code is a perfect opportunity to get students excited about computer science. You can continue to incorporate the 4 C's of 21st Century Learning by incorporating this coding experience in your classroom next week or anytime in the future. Once your students learn to code, there are endless opportunities to to incorporate it into your classroom curriculum. Will you encourage a love of computer science in your students by participating in an Hour of Code? Check out the links below to get started!
