Now coding is a regular option in our Creation Lab time. Some of us have started to explore other types of programming and some of us are continuing to play with Javascript to see what we can create. This type of knowledge of computer programming is becoming more important in our world every day; however, our focus continues to be on simply trying new things and developing problem solving skills. Coding also encourages collaboration as many of us work together on designing. Stay tuned for new creations throughout the year!
Since the holidays, we've started to explore coding as a way to develop our critical and creative thinking skills. We started with an official Hour of Code where Ms. B had us explore Javascript coding through tutorials from the Khan Academy. We had to use some of our Math skills (graphing with y and x axis and plotting coordinates) to create shapes in specific locations. As we moved on, we learned to add and adjust colour and lots more. Now coding is a regular option in our Creation Lab time. Some of us have started to explore other types of programming and some of us are continuing to play with Javascript to see what we can create.
