Parental Guidance
Students must have some prior scratch experience -Students should know how to have 2 windows open at a time, or have 2 screens available. - One window is for Zoom, the other is where they will create their Scratch program - A keyboard is necessary for this course -Please create an account for Scratch prior to class - www.scratch.mit.edu -Please note, class length may vary based upon the number of learners and their knowledge of scratch - Notice: Please be on time for class. It is not fair for learners that are on-time to have to stop and wait until a late arrival catches up. This can take a fair amount of time depending on the knowledge level of the learner. For this reason, I do not accept late arrivals. If you are late due to technical issues, email me and I will gladly transfer you to another class. I appreciate your understanding

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Pennsylvania State University
Hi, my name is Dan Hartman. I have many years of experience as an elementary and middle school technology teacher (Pk-8). I have a bachelor's degree from Penn State in Computer Science and over 25years of working in the computer science world. For years I have been bringing the joy of coding into PK-8 classrooms, with my passion for teaching technology and a skill for turning learning into an adventure, I inspire young minds to explore the digital world with creativity and curiosity.

I always try to make my teaching fun; students will see me wearing different hats and wigs to liven things up. I was a kid once, too and I can relate that it can be intimidating trying to warm up to a new teacher. In my classes, we will joke a bit and have a good time. But guess what, you will learn how to code. 

Last but not least, I realize that not all students pick up everything as quickly, so I try not to leave anyone hanging. I will often extend class sessions for one or a couple students. We can even zoom in at another time. My approach is that no student should leave without understanding the material.

I look forward to seeing you in my class!
