Beginner Level
Learners will receive instructions on how to use coding blocks to complete a game. This class is best suited for learners new to Scratch through learners with sa little experience. Classes will be kept small for us to complete a game in this session. A computer desktop or laptop is preferred for coding. Tablets and iPads don't always work properly with some of the games on Scratch. The device used for coding must have a keyboard. It is preferred that learners have a second monitor to view the instructor's screen shared through Outschool's Zoom. If that is not an option, resizing the Scratch window alongside Zoom will allow you to view both windows. **Students need to create a free, online Scratch account before meeting. A parent will need to confirm this account for the learner to be able to save their project. Https://scratch.mit.edu** Please message if you need assistance creating a Scratch account.

Fun classes are available for learners to explore how to use computer code to program games or projects. I currently offer beginning and intermediate coding classes using the program Scratch. I am very patient and offer support to learners through different stages of learning. It is important for students to have fun while learning! My teaching philosophy encompasses all learning styles. Classes will include time to explore content and practice application.
I have worked as an educator for over 27 years. I have taught learners from age 3 through age 16 in a variety of settings including public school, preschool, technology enrichment programs, computer coding classes, and robotics STEM camps. As a small farmer owner, I educate youth in homesteading and animal care. I have 2 amazing children with very different interests. My oldest is academically gifted. She is very in involved in art and music and currently following an educational path to become a veterinarian. My youngest is 2e. He is academically gifted and dyslexic. He is an athlete heavily involved in STEM, following an educational path to become a physicist. I originally came to the Outschool platform to search for classes for my kiddos. I was so impressed that I joined as an educator.
I have a Bachelor Degree in Elementary Education grades 1-6 and Master Degree in Educational Technology and Research. I have been licensed to teach in Florida and North Carolina. I obtained additional certifications in teaching Gifted and Talented Students for grades K-12, Technology Endorsement grades K-12, and School Library Media Specialist grades K-12.
