Ive used code.org resources for science class with focus on technology and on a project basis. Ive had good experiences with it. It seems to be thought through, pupils find it motivational and fun and the difficulty of it is quite allright for most pupils to manage in pairs.

# data[].attributes.body
My pupils love code.org. because it is the funniest way to teach computing or algoritm .My pupils between 12-14 years old.

# data[].attributes.body
My students (age 10-12) have been participating in the Hour of Code. It was fun but rather difficult because they don´t know English so well.

# data[].attributes.body
I have used codecademy tutorials with my students and it have been really great

# data[].attributes.body
I've never heard of the Hour of Code. But I do agree that children must learn how a computer works and programming.

I do belive that discesting e.g. a heart is important for different reason. Knowing about water is also very important.

# data[].attributes.body
Before starting this course I had never heard of “hour of code”. Therefore I have not used it before but it seems to be a good application for my students to also acquire problem-solving and decision making competencies.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't heard about "Hour of Code" or Code.org until now. Surely I will try to explore it with my students.

# data[].attributes.body
It was a great experience for my students

# data[].attributes.body
I have not yet heard of "hour of code". It looks very interesting. I hope to have the opportunity (as soon as possible) to show to my students and work together.

# data[].attributes.body
It was a fun and interesting event.

# data[].attributes.body
I participate this year for the first time and it was very nice.

# data[].attributes.body
don;t know try to find it

# data[].attributes.body
I have already used this. Also, in Cyprus all secondary computer science teachers are planning to promote hour of code in all students during the period 8-14 of December 2015.

# data[].attributes.body
I heart about it but I coudn´t manage to participate this year.

I find a great way to tart out with coding and programming.

# data[].attributes.body
Code.org is a great resource for a range of ages and abilities. Other than for the hour of code itself I've seen the resources used for cover lessons and introductory lessons with different year groups.

# data[].attributes.body
Last year, me and my students supported the "Hour of Code" initiative. Students worked on the angry bird activity and they were very enthusiastic about it! We will work on similar activities this year (Dec 8-14, 2014), too. Happy "Hour of Code 2014" to all! For more, see http://csedweek.org/

# data[].attributes.body
I'll try to organize an activity for the Hour of Code in my school this year. The tutorials are amazing and I'll think kids will love to code in this way.

# data[].attributes.body
code.org is wonderful :) I've used Angry birds - matherial and pupils liked that. Maybe this year we coud participate truly the Hour of Code.

# data[].attributes.body
For the first time I've participated the Hour of Code event. I was really excited as an English teacher and I've worked hard to attract both my colleagues' and students' attention to that. Some joined some not. In Turkey things change slowly. Next year it'll be better I suppose...

# data[].attributes.body
I have started playing with pupils. I am thrilled about future promising experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
I did not heard about Code. I will try with my students. I really like it.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven`t use it but I`m interested to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
Last year I have participated with my students in Hour of code. They were thrilled, excited, optimistic... This year I started teaching them programming.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never used code.org but I think that I would use it in future in my classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I´ll try to participate in second week of December in this event with my pupils that are 14 years old. I´m sure it will be a great experience.

# data[].attributes.body
positive. :-

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, the idea of getting students to take part in a worldwide coding movement is excellent. The potential for collaboration and meeting new friends is wonderful and could be so

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately I have never used Code.org, but I find this proposal really very interesting and I am trying to use the materials and tutorials in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I know code.org site, I think is quite interesting and funny to learn coding, despite the fact that I'm not teaching exact sciences and in my class we never use coding, but I will recommend to my students and I will try to improve my coding skills

# data[].attributes.body
I teached coding in my classroom in a different contexts... This idea, the hour of code, is awesome :-)

# data[].attributes.body
Code.org rocks! My students participated in Hour of Code 2013 and EUCodeWeek this october. It was great success :) Go for it!

# data[].attributes.body
I never used code in the classroom, but I'm trying to improve my skills and I hope to star soon to use code with my students

# data[].attributes.body
I began the hour of code, with my students, 15-17 years old, and they love it. This year I also used it with new students and I had the same results.

# data[].attributes.body
I asked four pupils to try code.org material with me during a break. They had no problem and seemed to enjoy themselves. I will certainly try another time with more pupils.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't heard about Code.org, nor "The Hour of Code". Its seems to be interesting and I will try these tools with my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I will try to take part at The hour of code with my students. It's very interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I began the hour of code with my students last years, and they loved it. What most surprised me was that one day we hadn´t internet conexion and I work out a lesson with some pieces of paper and pencil they told each other with "codes" how to build hanoi´s towers, it was a must

Water is still H2O! By knowing a watermolecule is made up from one single oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms we understand why we get water and carbondioxide out of fossile fuel. Coding is an important part of understanding our daily life, so is chemistry. When we are talking about preparing "not-yet-grown-up-people" for the future we need to work together!

# data[].attributes.body
I haven’t used Code.org's
resources or participated in
the Hour of Code. I just had a quick look after informed here. Seems iteresting...will
check it for sure.

# data[].attributes.body
I teach german as a second language, so I didn't have the jurisdiction to take part at this with my students. I am very interested to learn the coding language, because I am convinced thiss will be a necessary asset for the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Hour of Code activities are very important to encourage students in logical thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
I had no idea, so this is so intriguing.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion code is a very wide vision. There are too many progamming languages. Someone should mark the track to follow in this matter.

# data[].attributes.body
My school, Liceo Scientifico e Linguistico di Ceccano, is partecipating in a specific project about Coding hour

# data[].attributes.body
Hour of code is a great way to disseminate the virus of coding to large audiences. It's full of fun activities in wich the pupils love to participate and amaze themselves with that they can achieve.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the need to teach

# data[].attributes.body
IT' interesting read that there is an increasing number of resources that we can use not only to inspire and engage more students in our Computing classes but also to develop our own practice.

Before I have never heard of code. I will deepen the topic.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not an expert but at the beginning of this year I decided to take part in the European Code Week with two of my classes of lower secondary school (12 and 13 year old students). My students and I are going to take part in the Hour of Code initiative next December and I hope they will go on to become real experts.

# data[].attributes.body
For the first time, this year I took part to the European Code Week: it was a fantastic experience for my students of primary school. They passed a week learning how to use Scratch and they had excellent results!

# data[].attributes.body
I participated in "hour of code" last year with all my students. This year i already participated in "code week", again with all my students. Students have ages betwen 11 and 18 years old. In the context of the classroom, students started developed programming skills, and students of computer science courses developed (and / or deepened) skills in different computing areas. In all cases, students were introduced to platforms that allow them to autonomously positive inroads into the world of computing.

# data[].attributes.body
I participated in the EU Code Week Event between 11-17 October. I am a member of code.org and I finished K8 İntro Course. My sudents,14-18 year-old girls, loved coding a lot. They say it's enjoyable and useful for their future. Sometimes we worked during the lesson. They also learn some English words during the event.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven’t used or heard Code.org's. But, it seems to be very interesting and exciting. I’ll try it for sure.

# data[].attributes.body
I never used the resources of code.org. I did not participate in the Hour of Code. I am very interested to have this opportunity of knowledge in this course.

# data[].attributes.body
I participated in the previous edition Hour of Code and it was very pleasing to students who have, asked me this year if it will happen ... of course it will happen!

# data[].attributes.body
I have used last year some of the resources from code.org and my students had a really good time.

# data[].attributes.body
We participated in European Code Week in October and delivered workshops on cyber security and how to build an app in one hour. We would definitely like to promote the Hour of Code here in Malta.

# data[].attributes.body
It´s the first time I ear about The hour of code. I´m so impress! I´m sure this year I´m goint to visit this web to use some resources!!

Thanks for this course :)

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, I am a great believer in teaching children to code from a young age. As mentioned in the first video - it is central to understanding and taking part in our world today, inciting greater control and opportunity to create and take part for all students alike. Being able to understand the 'mechanics' behind the final outputs and linking that across the curriculum enables students to take control and express that creativity/deeper thinking in ways that will bring relevance to their reality. Instead of followers/consumers we move towards generating leaders and innovators.

With that said, I had heard of the Hour of Code before as well as consulted the resources. However, I was equally introduced by a collegue to Code Academy (http://www.codecademy.com/) which has proven to be a great way to learn the basics of coding. Currently interested in how we can apply this to primary schools I fell upon this wonderful example that I believe is worth sharing: http://www.bbc.com/news/education-25648769.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, two days ago I participated in THE HOUR OF CODE and it was so interesting that I couldn’t stop until I finished the 20 sections. About using it in the classroom I think that we can make a demonstration with a multimedia, so everybody can see how it works at the beginning and then the students can work in pairs for an hour, . We can also tell them to add some contents to their projects, after they learn we can make contests, telling them to make useful apps or games or very creative ones.

# data[].attributes.body
I have not ever used code in class but I'd do it

# data[].attributes.body
It seems interesting. I will try to implement in my classes.

# data[].attributes.body
I have participated Eu Code Week and used code.org. It has teacher management system so that you can manage your participants. When the couse completed you can print their cerrtificates. It has unplugged activities even if you had no internet connections.You can use in any lesson by havig students to ceate contents related to their subject just by simple coding.

# data[].attributes.body
I have participated Eu Code Week and planned an event with code.org still continueing. It has teacher management system so that you can manage your participants and print certificates for them. Iam planing to to have all of the students in my school to code. As soon it will turn out to be an etwinning project. Teachers can plan their courses

# data[].attributes.body
It is very interesting ... I'll try.

# data[].attributes.body
I participated in Hour of Code with my students and they loved it. I'm also planning to use other resources in class to engage them in coding.

# data[].attributes.body
Great fun, we won lots of Pi's as my Year 2's worked through the primary activities. Lovely set of resources. Lots of inspirational clips. Plus its not just coding! Even though its called code.org - the underlying computational

thinking principles are great.

# data[].attributes.body
I have shown the first promo video to students in my last year's primary school and they were absorbed by seeing many famous people into it. That inspired them and they were eager to start working on Scratch. Also, the gaming aspect of it, makes them want to create their own games and share with their friends on social media.

# data[].attributes.body
My students understood better
some theoretical notions working with code.org tools

very interesting and usefull

# data[].attributes.body
Actually I've heard coding recently and I haven't used its resources yet but I'm really looking forward to learning more about it and using it with my students.I'll study it deeply and try implementing it.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school has celebrated World Space Week and Science and Technology. I will try to implement the code week in December with colleagues who teach ICT. Very interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never heard about it before. But next time I will join it and I am sure my pupils will love it.

# data[].attributes.body
What is the best pupisl age to start with hour of code? I teach pupils from 8-15y. So what do you suggest? I want to teach it in English language (English version) so it would be a great opprtunity to do multi-subject-ing :)

# data[].attributes.body
The idea is so nice. I think that it should be promoted not just for students who are studying at the moment computer science but even for young students even to learn other subjects such as Maths while playing games. In this way kids (both boys and girls) will be involved at a young age in the area of computing. It could also be seen from the kids' eyes that when they accomplish something example win a game through code their level of satisfaction was extreme. Well done for this idea.

# data[].attributes.body
We have actually started with the Hour of Code. Later on involved Scratch into some lessons. Next year I'd like to do some more Coding.

# data[].attributes.body
I have heard about the hour of Code but nothing else. Listening to what the students have said I will try next year to participate with my students

# data[].attributes.body
I ' ve never heard about the hour of code. It's a great stimulus. I will do it.

# data[].attributes.body
I had heard of it but never used Code org resources or participated in the Hour of Code. Now I know students enjoy it, I have to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
interesting! Never heard before! I have so much to learn still

# data[].attributes.body
I knew nothing about Hour of code and related organization. I'm so impressed! Getting to know about new resources and users it's just what I was expecting from this course!

# data[].attributes.body
This is the 2nd year we 've participated. Last year we used the tools provided by the Code.org. This year I've used the same tools for the ages 13-15 and tried something different also. I asked 17 year ols students to teach HTML to 15 year olds. It was a huge success. Specially for girls that realised how easy it is to create a web page

# data[].attributes.body
My students in all grades (12-15 years old) participated for the first time this year.

They were very excited.

First we discussed about why do we need to learn computing, which skills are developed and what are the benefits.

The truth is that more boys than girls managed to complete all the tasks.

But the girls couldn't believe that they could make it , so when they completed a task they were very happy and felt more confident.

At the end we made an agreement with my students. to have a dedicated hour in gaming/computing every three motnhs

We used the game from the link

I never heard about the hour of code. But I found it very interesting. I would like participate this year.

# data[].attributes.body
Last year I participated with several classrooms helping the teachers in Espoo. We made even a Finnish Hour of Code page http://koodaustunti.fi/ to help Finnish teachers and students to participate in the event. This year we are going to make it even bigger.

I will give an introduction course for teachers in my home town Espoo about materials, that are used in #HourofCode.

I am also participating in the translation project to make materials available in Finnish.

# data[].attributes.body
I've never seen or heard of the hour of code events here in italy but know of some Coder.dojo events, free oneoff coding lessons for kids, which look pretty much the same. Hope I can join asap but our schools look to be miles away from all this

# data[].attributes.body
I already heard about the hour of code, but never participate. But I found it very interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Niculina, if a students said ”Its very awesome” , we have to learn how to do it. :) How we do it in Romania - keep up with the desires of our students!!

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't participated in the Hour of Code. So I have to do it now:)

# data[].attributes.body
A students said”Its very awesome” , so I have to learn how to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
Looks like we are finally going somewhere... I will share this with the headmistress.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never heard about the Hour of Code before. So I am not able to say something useful about it. But it seems to me a very interesting idea and I am going to inform me about the initiative.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never taken part in a Hour of Code before. I think, it would be very interesting to work in a code team

# data[].attributes.body
This is absolutely the first time I hear about the Hour of Code: I guess it could be a very exciting experience for teachers and students in my school. Last year I used social networks to create a net of cooperation between students of my school and some of another country (Honduras). With this kind of experience our students could increase their awareness of the importance of Coding.

# data[].attributes.body
A "resource" to explore! Students love this concept.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never heard of the Hour of Code before. I think I'll start by learning to code myself!
