This webinar focused around the teaching of coding in the classroom. Specifically, the webinar focused in on preparing teachers to teach coding utilizing code.org. The speaker focused in on six steps for effectively teaching using code.org: Plan, Promote, Prepare, Inspire, Code, and Celebrate. It's important that you make a plan for creating a seminar in which you're going to teach coding. Without a proper plan, it's easy to get overwhelmed and bogged down in the sheer volume of programs and activities code.org presents. It's also important that you promote your workshop so that you actually have attendees. The webinar spent some time going over promotional strategies. Then, you need to prepare, which is the most important step. You need to appear confident and capable to your audience, and properly preparing accomplishes this. Then, during the lesson, you need to inspire students with the value of coding, and then code. Lastly, you should celebrate that you've achieved this task. One of the perks of coding is that you can differentiate the curriculum through coding grades. Additionally, you do not need to be a practicing teacher to attend most of the workshops code.org and its affiliates host.
