Coding

Schools in my area are starting to think about "Coding" not just as extra curriculum but as a skill to enhance thinking skills.  Cattaraugus Allegany BOCES has a team of staff specialists ready to assist.  A "Coding - Learn Computer Programing" online course has been developed in Moodle to serve as a skeleton for the free online curriculum in Codecademy.  Apps have also been downloaded and promoted, such as "Hopscotch" and "Kodable" to encourage code thinking in the early grades.  Eventually a k-12 curriculum will be developed but presented as a series of lessons to integrate into other subject matter.
