Educational Technology at IU13

Whether you're excited to get coding with your students for CSEdWeek, or looking for ideas to find the time, we've got you covered. Join us on December 2 from 5:30-7:05 pm (EST) for BrainPOP Connect: Coding Beyond the Hour of Code webinar. Level up your instruction with BrainPOP’s Creative Coding tool — developed in partnership with Scratch and Vidcode, you’ll walk away knowing how to seamlessly introduce coding, no matter what you’re covering in class. 

IU13IMS is pleased to announce our first Code.Org Workshop for classroom teachers coming up this May 24, 2016! We are fortunate to host Joann Presbrey who is an official Code.Org affiliate. This full day workshop will prepare classroom teachers to use code.org resources with their students. Registration is free and available on our IU13 MyLearningPlan. Check out the flyer below for more details.

We are looking forward to celebrating National Digital Learning Day #DLDay on March 13, 2015.  Although that may seem a long time away, the way we are celebrating in PA will occur much sooner!  This year, PA through PAIMS (Pennsylvania Instructional Media Services) has decided to celebrate National Digital Learning Day through participation in the Hour of Code during Computer Science Education Week December 8-14, 2014. 

Computer Science Education Week is December 9-15, 2013.  In order to celebrate this year, The Hour of Code 2013 has begun!  The mission: Introduce 10 million students to coding in a one hour session ages 6-106.  Several school districts in our IU13 have already registered full k-12 classes in Math and Computers to take one hour during this week to introduce this to their students.  Check out the video for more details:
