K-8 Intro to Computer Science

I have really got into the idea of wanting to be a technology teacher!  I love the idea of teaching our students how to use technology effectively and within the classroom.  As it stands...I would apply for the technology job in Hermiston if it weren't so far away, but I am constantly looking for new technology teaching resources.  This one showed up in the NSTA reports and I thought I would share it here!

Looking to demystify computers for elementary and middle level students--and their teachers?  This 20 hour course from Code.org introduces basic programming concepts and computational theory through hands-on tutorials and unplugged activities emphasiznig the creative and collaborative nature of computer science. Video lection from famouse people like Bill Gates and NBA star Chris Bosh and artwork from popular games like Angry Bird and Plants vs. Zombies keep content relevant for students.  Learn more at http://bit.ly/1h6ae6O

I personally can't wait to give it a try and see what Levi thinks!  Heck, we can get Hailey in on the deal as well!
