It is so much fun we actually signed up for the 20 hour online computing tutorial offered through the Hour of Code! Learning computer science skills is essential for working and living in the 21st century. While not everyone will have the chance or desire to work in the computing industry, learning coding basics "helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity" (http://hourofcode.com/ca). Over the last two weeks before our winter break, students will have the opportunity to work at their own pace through the tutorials. Students will learn skills to create sequences, events, loops, shapes and stories, all using code. Students can even work on the tutorials from home.
