Coding Manaiakalani DFI
Today was so much fun! We explored coding, using tools such as Code.org and Scratch. We also had a huge amount of fun using Makey Makey boards. We certainly put ourselves in the students's shoes today. Learning with digital technology is engaging, develops oral language, maths skills, science skills AND is so much fun!

Coding for Beginners

This was a great way to get into coding and develop some initial knowledge and skills. The one hour of coding was a great introduction and I found the videos very helpful. I would love to use this with my students!!  This is an activity I will definitely do with my students!





Coding with Scratch

This is a great way to learn about coding. With a small amount of help, you are able to develop an animation.  My year seven and eight students would love this and would be able to produce some amazing animations!





Makey Makey
This was such a fun activity and was very user friendly. You Tube videos were a great help after we unpacked the Makey Makey board and organised clips and attachments. We chose to make a screaming banana following a You Tube clip. The bongo drum was also easy to make.
