Code.Org Accelerated Course S2 17-18

About the Code.org Accelerated Course (International):
Excerpt taken directly from https://code.org/educate/curriculum/cs-fundamentals-international
Our International Computer Science Fundamentals courses are translated into over 25 languages. The different courses support students aged 4-18. Each course has 10-20 lessons that may be implemented as one unit or over the course of a semester. Students study basic programming concepts and develop interactive games or stories they can share.
The courses teach the foundational concepts of programming using drag and drop blocks rather than a programming language such as JavaScript or Python. Blocks are an easier way to get started and can be fully translated into any language. Course 1 uses picture blocks rather than words to support pre-readers.
All lessons align to all relevant computer science standards, as well as to the ISTE standards. They additionally reinforce concepts and skills taught in other subject areas by integrating national Math, English Language Arts, and Science standards. Read more about our curriculum philosophy here.

Good Luck, and Have Fun!

ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Scholars will learn basic computer programming using Code.Org online.  Scholars will understand the basic vocabulary used in programming.  Scholars will also be able to explain why it is important for everyone to learn to code and how it can provide equity in our society. 

STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING! 

Scholars will sign up for accounts on Code. Org and begin working through the program online. Scholars will complete their Introduction to Programming by emailing a link to the R2-D2 Star Wars Game they made to the instructor for credit.  Scholars will then click on the ACCELERATED PROGRAM and begin working on the 20 Stages found there.  These stages will review topics and ideas from the Star Wars levels, and allow Scholars to begin to learn about loops, if-then statements, and how math and algorithms are incorporated into programming. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE TODAY!

Standards Covered In This Class  
PA 3.7.7 & 11 Section C / ISTE 2011
