Teaching Code Through Creative Video Projects
In this edWeb.net webinar, attendees learned about ways to bring coding into the classroom through multimedia projects. Through a web-based software, paired curriculum, and teacher training, Melissa Halfon introduced this solution for teaching computer science in a fun and engaging way to weave into your classroom, after-school and summer curricula. Appropriate for both computer science and non-CS teachers of students age 10 and up, teachers were able to take away where Vidcode falls in the landscape of coding tools.
