Hour of Code is coming in December... and check out our November winners!!! Happy Thanksgiving.
The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. The 2019 Computer Science Education Week will be December 9-15. We have some ideas for you to try out during this special week. These ideas will be shared on this Blog soon so you have time to see what can fit in your lessons that week. Please send me pictures of your students doing some lessons! I would love to see what great stuff is occurring in our IU13 classrooms.
Congratulations goes out to Rachel Weiler, teacher at Valley Road in an elementary ES classroom. She had the winning essay submitted for this month's OSMO iPad case. Enjoy the case with your students and thank you for all your work in the classroom.
Congratulations to our November Essay Winner- Teresa Fleming
Congratulations goes out to the SEC of the DHH program, Teresa Fleming. She submitted the winning essay that was chosen by the ECSES program supervisors today at their meeting. Teresa shared that she is looking to use this tool in two of her DHH classes she supports at John Beck Elementary School. Teresa and her teacher Elizabeth taught the students coding last year via the online program Code.org. She is hoping to continue having them code by using the Bee Bot during their regular classroom lessons. Congratulations again. For others that either submitted an essay and it was not chosen, or would like to try out a Bee Bot and mat, I do have a few Bee Bots and mats staff borrow for use in their classroom. If you are interested in doing this, please complete this Google Form HereBee Bot Sign-Out form. The form entry will go to Hillary and she will connect with you on how to get it out to your classroom. Thanks again for all you do for your students in our IU13 classes.

Gina Monteleone, ES teacher at Manheim Central HS was the winner of the BreakoutEDU kit for her classroom. I received 10 essays this month. The voting by our ECSES supervisors was very close, but I think what stood out in Gina's essay would be that she asked her students why a BreakoutEDU kit would help them with social skills and she provided their reasons!!! Great idea Gina and class. Enjoy. Check out the next give-a-way on the right.
