Hour of Code

"TAG Time" math students learned about a new language this week-the language of coding!   Enthusiastic students opened up their Chromebooks and "coded" as many as 70 lines  during our TAG Time math classes.  Students also proudly wore stickers that stated:  Hour of Code...I "coded" today....Do YOU?      Students used the website www.code.org/learn to accomplish their Hour of Code.   This Hour of Code is known world wide and is an initiative that started to increase the need for future computer programmers.  It has been said that by the time our students are out in the work force, 68% of jobs will require some type of computer programming knowledge.  Now is the time to start educating our children for their future.  Log on to www.code.org/learn and experience "coding" with a child.  It is an exciting experience!
