Hour of Code

This week, during Hour of Code, the students ACTUALLY had a go on the computer! The focus this week was on ‘pair programming’ where the students paired up to solve problems together. Through the puzzles, they learned to drag and drop blocks and the fundamentals of block programming which will help students using Snap! and Scratch. They then played a set of Angry Birds puzzles which continued to develop their drag-and-drop skills as well as to program using a set of directional algorithms (sequence of steps to solve a problem).
