They learned basic Lego building skills like stacking vs. overlapping and how the overlapping pattern helps make their building/foundation strong. These simple skills will also set them up for future coding skills, such as repeating and looping.
A snippet of a tour we created with @googleearth! 2nd grade started a #geography unit and is studying natural features on earth. #GoogleEarth really brought the land features alive! They even used Pegman to stand on glaciers and volcanoes! @HSDHurricanes #learning #edtech #iPad
Our 2nd graders were SO excited to explore a new #multimedia app today! They will share their learning on reversible and irreversible matter using #shadowpuppet on the iPad. #everyonecancreate #edtech #makelearningvisible @AppleEDU @HSDHurricanes
Our fourth grade is finishing up their #robotics unit using @LEGO_Education Mindstorm kits. I love the eyeballs they added to their robotic dino! 🦖 #edtech #coding

Got a little nervous when the WiFi wasn't working in our MPR 5 minutes before the music program started. #success #LiveStreaming #YouTube #hsd36rocks @HSDHurricanes

Great that #IDEAcon2020 kicks off the day with a student keynote. This should be the norm. @GuruDetective is not only a great speaker but sharing valuable information about Cybersecurity. More here: bitsnbytes.us.com/
