Today
in the AT&T Classroom, our Fishcreek third graders worked with the Hopscotch
app to learn basic skills for coding and programming. By playing with the app, the children were
introduced to some of the basic terms and processes for writing a simple
program to control the characters on the app and create movement and simple
actions.
In addition to learning the
basics of programming, providing opportunities for children to learn coding
skills also fosters children’s abilities for mathematical reasoning, critical
thinking and problem solving.
