Computer Coding

This year, 3rd graders will participate in a computer coding unit in which students will learn how to create algorithms (list of steps) that will run a computer.  Students will be using the code.org website to track their coding skills and be able to problem solve so that the computer can run the program effectively.  The goal is to create algorithms (list of steps) for the computer to run in order to get the angry bird to the pig.. This is a fun way to introduce students to the concept of computer coding as well as help them to problem solve or debug the computer program.  Now, LETS GET THAT PIG!!
