Our first Skype call and an opportunity to explore coding with ScratchJr.

On Monday we connected via Skype to Ms. Moran's class in Fort McMurray. They are a Classroom Champs class and their athlete mentor is also Ryan Cochrane! We learned about the climate in their province and discovered what we had in common and what was different!
All the students were engaged and polite during the conversation!




Ursh and Prableen were very brave and asked one of their questions!





Everyone showed great audience behaviour, I was so proud!

On Tuesday we had an opportunity to explore an iPad app- ScratchJr. ScratchJr is an app that introduces children to computer coding. Everyone had a ton of fun and practised problem solving, mentoring and critical thinking skills.









Have you had a chance to Skype with another class this year or try Scratch Jr.?
