BWF holds Hour of Code

Brookwood Forest held an Hour of Code week the week of Dec. 7-11 under the direction of Sharon Mumm, the Brookwood Forest technology coordinator. 

Students started the day listening to broadcasts of topics such as the Hour of Code Worldwide, Why Computer Science Matters, and Change the World forGirls. Individual teachers worked with unplugged activities throughout the week. 

Meg Sims used Tech Time to introduce students to the Hour of Code website and made sure kids could log in. Kelly Hargrove introduced activities to the first-graders. One of the first-grade classes then became teachers and helped another class get started. 

The week allowed students to work on various devices during Tech Time and classroom time including grade level laptops, Chromebooks and iPads. Parent Bryan Horner from Daxko came and talked to the third grade about exciting opportunities in coding.  The week was such a success, the students did not want to stop!
