It explains that Hour of Code is a worldwide initiative to introduce students to computer programming through one-hour coding activities. It recommends teachers choose one hour during the week to dedicate to coding and provides a list of online and offline activity options that can be done on devices like Chromebooks, iPads, or without technology. It includes directions for teachers to introduce coding, have students complete activities, take pictures, and provide feedback through surveys to share how the school participated in the event.

What is Hour of Code?


The week of December 8th-13th is the Hour of Code. During this time students around the
world will get an introduction to computer programming- no prior experience is required (by
student or teacher). Students (or teachers) will choose how to spend their Hour of Code through
game-based activities online. There are unplugged activities for those that dont want to use
technology for the Hour of Code. This is a worldwide initiative with hopes of reaching 100 million
students this year!
The goal of the event is to promote computer science as an option for future careers. The hope
is that exposing students, especially girls, will encourage them to explore coding further. The
Department of Labor anticipates computer science will be one of the fastest-growing and
highest-paying industries in the future.

How it Will Work At Coonley


During the week of December 8th-13th teachers will choose ONE HOUR to dedicate to the Hour
of Code (Grades 4-8 will attend coding activities at DePaul this week and participate in schoolbased Hour of Code activities the week of December 15th). Please fill out what day(s)/time(s)
you are completing your Hour of Code here so you can receive classroom support from Mrs.
Zumpano. Websites with lesson plans are included in this document. Teachers can choose any
activity for their classroom to complete. Lessons can be broken up into smaller sessions (as
long as you are devoting a minimum of one hour for the week). Teachers can use their
scheduled computer time (grades K-4) to participate. Teachers can complete the activity in their
classrooms as a whole class using iPads, laptops or even as stations. The way you choose to
implement Hour of Code is completely up to you. It is recommended that you look through the
Teachers Notes (where available) prior to the activity. Teachers are asked to take pictures of
their students participating in Hour of Code and send them to Mrs. Zumpano (please note: if you
take any pictures showing a students face please make sure they have a media consent form
on file. If not, please take pictures from behind students so their face cannot be identified).
Students will be asked to complete a Google Form (survey) about their experience and teachers
will be asked to complete a short survey detailing the number of students that participated.

Choose Your Participation Method


There is no set-in-stone way to complete Hour of Code! Teachers can choose activities on the
iPads, laptops, computer lab, Chromebooks or even unplugged activities that include no
technology at all! Teachers can offer students a choice, assign one tutorial for everyone, have
coding stations with different applications, partner with an older/younger classroom, have
students work independently or in pairs, etc.

During Hour of Code Week

1. Begin by discussing the Hour of Code concept and the importance of computer science
(read more here):
a. Hour of Code is aiming for participation from 100 million students worldwide
b. Official Hour of Code Video:

c. Share these computer science statistics:
http://hourofcode.com/us/resources/stats
d. Some of last years stats:

2. Choose a coding activity from the resources listed above and introduce it to students.
Note: teachers should have already previewed the lesson(s) before introducing and
tested the systems they will be working on (Chromebooks, iPads, etc.). K-4 teachers: if
you will be implementing your Hour of Code during your typing period please let Mr.
Bajorek and Mrs. Zumpano know what you will be doing prior to coming to the lab.
3. Begin coding! If possible, take pictures or short video clips of the students working. If
you are a Twitter user consider posting comments about your experience on Twitter
using #HourofCode and tagging us at @CoonleyES
4. Have students complete this survey about their experience when your Hour of Code
is complete

After the Hour of Code


1. Complete this survey telling how many of your students participated in Hour of Code
2. Send any pictures or videos to Mrs. Zumpano. If you tweeted, journaled or documented
in any other way please send these as well so we can create something showing how
the entire school participated
3. Consider printing out Hour of Code certificates for your students
