Digital Revolution

Education is going through a major revolution due to technology. It’s affecting every aspect of education, both positive and negative. Issues like cyberbullying, cellphone use, digital citizenship, generative AI plagiarism, student tracking and surveillance show it’s a real minefield. One huge positive is the incorporation of coding into the standard curriculum. This key life skill for the digital era can be an amazing opportunity for students and teachers, unfortunately its often viewed as an unwanted struggle by teachers and administrators. Its an entirely new, entirely foreign subject they need to understand and incorporate, and all too often, there’s no time or resources to support successful adoption.

The Book Series’ Goals

Our book series was design to help teachers get comfortable and confident with coding. It provides a comprehensive learning path for K-12 teachers to go from zero knowledge of coding to a master of Scratch, the world’s most popular, and best, coding education platform. We know coding education opens a world of possibilities for both students and teachers. Having provided coding workshops across the country for years, we’ve seen the results first hand. We wanted to do what we could to ensure teachers didn’t remain scare and uncertain about getting involved in coding. Providing a clear learning path, fun classroom materials, and support for troubleshooting would all be keys to success. We’ve combined all of those in The Teacher’s Guide To Scratch to be the go to solution for educators in need.

Why It Works

We know that creativity and expression are critical ways to encourage student buy-in and unlock intrinsic motivation. Coding, especially using Scratch, is an amazing way to allow students to explore their ideas with visual, textual, and audio components. It provides an amazing array of potentials, but they need to be understood to get the most out of them. The Teacher’s Guide To Scratch provides computer science fundamentals and concepts, but through practical and fun projects that will give real examples of what students want to know and do. You can meet curricular outcomes and have fun doing it!

Your Best Resource For Coding Education

If you’re a K-12 educator, coding is being mandated across the world, you need to be prepared. This book series is your guide to the amazing opportunities coding can provide your classroom and your students. If you’re a parent who’s interested in their children’s coding education and want to support them and learn coding yourself while you’re at it, these books could be your secret weapon to coding mastery – fun ways to learn with projects you can build together with your kid!
