Still a work in progress, but I am grateful that the coding in education space encourages us to use coding to express ourselves. I’ve always encouraged students to do so, and thought, “I should do so myself!” Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! scratch.mit.edu/projects/773… @BootUpPD

Had to share an email I got from a teacher who received PD! "I was in your Ogden Iowa class before Thanksgiving. I knew my mom would love coding. She is a tech freak even though she’s 83! Here she is doing her thing. She caught on fast. Thanks for hanging out with us!" @BootUpPD

Very impressed with Code.org's "unifying approach in a divided world" statement. I wish more were having these types of conversations: code.org/about/unifying#:~:t….
