Q2 by EdTechMuse https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7 What challenges do you anticipate with bringing coding into your classroom? What are the solutions? en-us 2016-09-24 17:24:03 UTC 2025-12-05 14:37:17 UTC hello@padlet.com The biggest challenge at our school is access to computers for all students. https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348005 The solution may be in grant writing. I imagine if computer science was part of our curriculum our district would be challenged with finding a way to get more and better technology in all schools.

With individual interest and ability being variable, keeping the class more or less cohesive may be difficult.]]> 2017-06-24 17:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348047 Computer time vs. Classroom Time https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348062 My computer teacher at my school is certainly interested in coding, so I believe that if I introduce this to her, she would greatly appreciate it! 
If I am not able to do this during our computer time once a week, I would then struggle with access to computers/ipads. It would be interesting to see how well this would work with having students team up and work together in order to solve the problem of not having 1:1 computers/ipads.]]> 2017-06-24 17:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348062 https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348104 I think the biggest challenge for me is figuring out where to put it into the curriculum and getting other teachers involved in this as well. I have very little experience with CS that I need to learn and explore more to see what all it can offer students and use what I learn as a selling point for other teachers. ]]> 2017-06-24 17:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348104 The only challenge will be to have access to computers. We currently have two computer labs and computer carts that are mainly used for testing. When they are free, the English teachers use them for writing and teaching students how to use Word, PowerPoint, etc. We do have an iPad cart for each department. Can you use an iPad for code.org learning? mdickens74 https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348139 2017-06-24 17:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348139 Biggest Challenge with Solution https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348141 We need a basic functional amount of computer laptop/pads in order to begin to teach coding.  Oh yeah, we also need proficient teachers that can do it!!]]> 2017-06-24 17:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348141 Challenge https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348148 The biggest challenge I will face is teaching students how to preserve or problem solve when I am unavailable to help them or want them to keep trying.]]> 2017-06-24 17:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348148 Access to laptops or computers. https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348188 2017-06-24 17:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sstewart14/q8oiz4ff7rn7/wish/177348188
