The Beginner’s Guide to the Hour of Code

I have heard that many teachers around the district have started "Hour of Code" Lessons. Here is a great beginners guide on how you can give your students an Hour of Code!

Create Interactive lessons with Playposit!

Bloxels EDU is the most intuitive platform for creating video games in the classroom. When students build games, they become the writers, artists, designers, and developers of their own interactive stories. Students are able to create and collaborate on the same game.

One stop shop for Learning guides on all subjects, test prep, and has 8483 videos!

Increase Student Engagement with Pear Deck - Pear Deck is one of the easiest ways to ensure all students in the classroom are actively engaged and participating in classroom presentations created in Google Slides. The goal of this post is to give an overview of what Pear Deck offers and how to get started with the Pear Deck Add-on for Google Slides.

Not so good at drawing? AutoDraw is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to guess what you’re trying to draw. You start with a blank screen, begin sketching something, and AutoDraw gives you a strip of professionally illustrated images to choose from, based on what the tool thinks you’re trying to draw.

MIT Geometry Game Pilot!

Looking for a creative, hands-on twist on teaching geometry to your 7th – 10th grade students? Or are you interested in having your students try out a game-based assessment?

The MIT Education Arcade and Teaching Systems Lab are developing Shadowspect, an interactive computer game where players build 3D figures while developing their geometric, dimensional, and spatial reasoning skills. Students will access levels of increasing difficulty as they move and rotate spheres, cubes, and other important shapes in order to find creative solutions to modeling problems. Once the project is fully developed, the game will also collect data to assess mastery of 3D geometry, spatial reasoning, persistence, and creativity. Click here for more info and to sign up!
