Codingville offers an easy and engaging way for students to learn coding/digital skills in a self-directed online environment.
Students and teachers will develop their coding/digital skills through Blockly coding. Blockly coding is a visual coding language where the user builds code by stacking ‘blocks’ together. These ‘blocks’ are chunks of code that can be translated into professional textual code, which is JavaScript. Students will learn how to code by using Blockly in a series of ‘Journeys’. Each journey culminates with a capstone project, and a final project that focuses on developing a web app. A journey is approximately 21 hours of content and is differentiated into specific grade groupings and skill sets: Grades 1-3 students, Grades 4-6 students and Grades 7-12 (middle/high school).
The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code", to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts. Check out the tutorials and activities. This grassroots campaign is supported by over 400 partners and 200,000 educators worldwide.
Students can code for just an hour, or complete full courses.
The courses are in 45 different languages.
There are even coding activities that can be down without computers called "unplugged".

"Les compteurs analogiques sont tout autour de nous !. Ils sont utilisés pour représenter visuellement les mesures et les données. L'un des compteurs analogiques les plus courants est l'aiguille de carburant dans une voiture. Cela convertit une lecture du niveau de carburant dans le réservoir en une lecture vide à pleine sur le compteur.
Dans cette version, nous utiliserons un servo pour construire un compteur à commande électronique. Nous utiliserons d'abord simplement le bouton sur le tableau de commande pour déplacer l'aiguille en convertissant la position du bouton en mouvement de l'aiguille. Ensuite, un capteur sonore sera connecté pour convertir le niveau sonore (c'est-à-dire la musique) en une lecture de compteur. Cela en fera ce qu'on appelle communément un "VU-mètre"

"The Day of the Programmer is celebrated on the 256th day of the year. This is because programmers are familiar with bytes and 1 byte = 8 bits, which gives 256 (2 to the power of 8) different combinations of binary digits. In this lesson, students can celebrate programmers by creating art that showcases different programming languages! Students are provided a step-by-step tutorial, code blocks, and instructions to create a Computer Linguist project using Tynker. By the end of this lesson, students will have combined creativity and coding concepts such as simple motion, simple drawing, basic math, and input/output."
You can complete this task by using Tynker block coding - or click in the bottom right corner of the screen to use JavaScript.
This is a great activity to learn about programming languages.
Students will recognize that computer science is so important because it can be found in almost every career. Don't wait, start learning how to code today.

Conker allows you to design multiple-choice, read-and-respond, and fill-in-the-blank quizzes for students across different levels and topics. You can also paste reading material to generate quizzes based on that content.
Start by opening Conker and providing details about the quiz you want to create. Conker will generate a short quiz that you can assign to students using a code, or you can export it to Google Forms. Additionally, you can create a printable question sheet and answer sheet.
Conker is free.

Curipod is an AI tool that generates an interactive slide deck in seconds based on a given topic. The slide deck includes features like:
Polls
Word clouds
Open-ended questions
A drawing tool
Once the slide deck is created (typically consisting of 9-12 slides), you can edit and adjust it to meet your needs and add more slides as desired.
The free plan offers almost everything you would need.
From classroom management, to project ideas, to script writing and planning, the resources in these guides will help you implement creativity with technology across your curriculum.
The guides give strategies for implementing creative technology in: primary literacy, elementary literacy, elementary math, science, STEM, elementary social studies, digital story telling and English language skills.
