Reflection

I enjoyed being able to learn about coding and how it is used in a lot of things that we do. I felt challenged during some of these tasks and I had to think hard and try new ways for the task to be completed. I think these activities are a good way to get students engaged because it kept me engaged. It challenges them and allows them keep their attention to finishing the task. Code.org is a great way for students to attain certain skills that they will use in the future. These activities would allow children to learn how to think critically, become problem solvers and become creative. They could figure out ways to accomplish a task and they could also create their own games using coding. 
I do not believe that this would be relevant in my classroom since I am pursuing secondary Spanish, but I do think that this could be taught in the elementary setting. This website would expose children to the idea of coding and computer science. It would allow them to see that coding is used everywhere like video games and websites like YouTube. It would introduce them to the ins and outs of technology. I think this should be implemented somewhere in the classroom because it will help children develop creativity, problem solving and critically thinking skills. They will need these skills in their future as they continue to grow into successful individuals. I enjoyed learning about this topic and I would recommend it to anyone as an introductory tool to coding.
