A Code by Any Other Name


In the Library Commons I've started laying the foundation for code through games and a variety of exercises. This helps the students understand the concepts of coding. By engaging them in non-technical activities at first it introduces them to the basics before diving in! Below are some apps we'll be trying out soon

- Scratch
- Tynker
- Hopscotch
- Diasy the Dinosaur
- Cargo - Bot


Green Screen 

This is a really exciting time for students. The green screen creates a world of possibilities! It increases curriculum comprehension by giving the students a tool to express what they've learned in class. Below are some apps we'll be working with soon!
- Do Ink
- Green Screen Mobile Effects
- Hands-on Green Screen Movie Effects
- Green Screen
