Abstract:
Computational thinking and computer programming are permeating the landscape of today’s schools. In order to prepare students for 21st-century careers, students of all ages need to learn fundamental skills in a developmentally appropriate way. How can that best be accomplished? What is Code.org? How can teachers use it in the classroom? This paper gives an introduction to the site, provides information about its free curriculum, and describes how teachers can begin using this in their classrooms.
