#builder This is for students who want to learn 'how to code' with block-based format of puzzles-develop problem solving, critical thinking, programming, debugging and looping concepts.

Class experience

CLASS 1:-
Students will develop programming and debugging skills on a computer platform. The block-based format of the puzzles will help students learn about sequence and debugging concepts and the need to be persistent.

CLASS 2:-
Debugging is an essential element of learning to program. In this lesson, students will encounter puzzles that have been solved incorrectly. They will need to step through the existing code to identify errors.
Debugging forces the students to recognize problems and overcome them while building critical thinking and problem solving skills.

CLASS 3:-
Using loops (repeating action/actions) is an important skill in programming.Students will learn to add instructions to existing loops, gather repeated code into loops, and recognize patterns that need to be looped.

CLASS 4:-
Students will learn to add instructions to existing loops, gather repeated code into loops, and recognize patterns that need to be looped. They will work on Advanced challenges on Loops in this part of the course.

Coding teaches kids that finding a solution to a problem often involves a logical sequence of steps or actions. It helps to develop problem solving skills such as perseverance, trial and error, understanding of cause and effect, analytical thinking and reasoning skills. It also challenges children to think creatively and to pursue innovative ideas and solutions.
I am an enthusiastic science, technology and STEM teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience teaching different age and grade levels. I love to always challenge myself by looking for solutions to problems and to write algorithms and code to solve a problem. This enhances my creativity and problem solving skills.
Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
Student moves to the next level only when the learner has understood and solved the previous level. The learner will be assessed as he/she progresses in the game.
Grades Offered
Student will need a LAPTOP or a DESKTOP and should be able to copy a link (url) from Zoom Chat (shared at time of class) and paste it in their browser tab. If you updated Zoom recently then you may not have to copy and paste the link, it will show as a hyperlink and will open up in the browser on clicking on the link.

Please do not use an only one iPad or a tablet because it gets confusing for a student to keep both Zoom and the Browser tab to remain open during the class and feels lost in moving from one to another. I have some parents that use a chrome book and an iPad or two iPads. They use one to have the Zoom open and then they type in the url of the link in the other device.

It is advisable to use a laptop because with one device the learner has the Zoom and the link on the same device and is able to share his/her screen if the learner needs help from the teacher on any level . Also, the student on completing the challenge activity is able to share his/her learning with the whole class. If you are using 2 separate devices then the learner is unable to use the 'Zoom Share Screen' feature to share his/her work with the class.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
If your child is 6 years old then please be present to support and help him/her during class. Students as young as this age need help with minimizing Zoom and opening a link in the browser(Google Chrome, Safari) and navigating between these two.

I will be sharing the link in the 'Zoom Chat', after the start of the class. If you are working on an updated Zoom, the link that I will share will appear as a hyperlink and will open in the browser by simply clicking on it. If you have not updated Zoom, then the link needs to be copied and pasted from Zoom Chat to a browser tab.

Since the links that I will share during class time in the Zoom Chat , need to open in your browser (like any other link opens in a browser) some children get confused with both the Zoom and the browser window open at the same time. Please help them learn to minimize their Zoom window once they start working in the browser window.
Also, please guide your child not to keep Zoom in 'Full screen mode' at any time during class. 
Thanks for your cooperation. :)
