Coding Lesson Two
Student entry level:
My students have been introduced to coding through the code.org video. They have been introduced to how codecademy works and have also been introduced to scratch. Students have had an opportunity to work with some of these resources and have now chosen which programs they would like to work with into the future.
Some students have been working on developing their skills at home.
Today's Lesson:
We will begin all lessons by giving some students the opportunity to share their work and teach others some new skills that they have picked up.
In today's lesson students will be introduced to the tutorial videos from Khan Academy related to coding.
First Video will be the one featured on the code.org website
and then students will have the opportunity to continue working on their projects or having a look at other videos from

Please suggest any other resources and I highly recommend checking out codecademy's school resources here!!!
