Why should students learn to code? What apps are you using with your students to code?

Teaching students to code is very important because it teachers students to collaborate, share and respect one another's ideas. Planning, creativity and critical thinking are also very important skills used to code. It is also motivating for the students to know that there will be an end product to share. Why do you think that students should learn to code?

Welcome to Ideas for Integrating Technology

My name is Tammy B. and I an Instructional Technology Specialist at The Children's School in Midtown Atlanta.  I have been in my current position for 3 years and previously I was a lead classroom teacher in second grade at The Children's School.  As a part of my PLN I enjoy reading Twitter, sharing my thoughts and ideas and asking questions.  Twitter is the best way to find a developer and their responses are always prompt. FaceBook is also part of my PLN. There are so many educators that share ideas.  Reading Facebook is always inspiring.  I also follow a few blogs.  Blogs are a great way to know what is trending. My PLN islikje reading the morning paper except my PLN never sleeps. Many of the ideas I share with my colleagues and others I tuck away in my Evernote account.  It occurred to me that I could share what I am learning with other educators and hopefully they will share their ideas. I am always searching for Web 2.0 tools that foster collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and communication.  I also enjoy reading, sharing, and evaluating educational and productivity apps. Why?  Because all students learn differently and I want to offer a selection of apps instead of just one. Please follow and comment on the blog and on twitter @tcsteacher.
