PBS KIDS ScratchJr Code-to-Learn Professional Development Workshop
12:30 - 3:00 PM
Trainer: Annie Gilstrap
Cost: $25
The PBS KIDS ScratchJr Code-to-Learn PD is a 2.5 hour session where you will have an opportunity to play, explore, and learn how to incorporate creative coding and computational thinking into learning environments designed for 5-8 year-olds through the use of the PBS KIDS ScratchJr app and accompanying activities and materials.
PBS KIDS ScratchJr is a free app developed in collaboration with the MIT Media Lab, Tufts University’s Developmental Technologies Research Group, and PBS KIDS. Available on iPads, Android tablets, and Amazon Tablet, the app helps children ages 5-8 learn core coding concepts and practices as they create their own interactive stories and games. As kids snap together colorful programming blocks to make their favorite PBS KIDS characters move, jump, dance and sing, they will learn to solve problems, design projects and express themselves creatively with technology.
The training will introduce you to developmentally appropriate coding and computational thinking concepts and practices through the use of the PBS KIDSScratchJr app. You will gain experience using the tool and will explore a curriculum designed for informal learning environments that helps support children through the creative design process by providing opportunities to imagine, explore, plan, create, and share their creativity and use of the media and technology.
This is a BYOD event. Please come with the PBS KIDS ScratchJr app loaded on your Android tablet, iPad or Amazon Tablet. We will have some loaner iPads at the training. NOTE: ScratchJr is available on Chromebooks. ScratchJr is the same as PBS Kids ScratchJr, but does not include the PBS characters. http://pbskids.org/scratchjr
