My journey started in the summer but because Birdbrain has a robust PD video support program, I quickly relearned what I really didn't remember. I recognized that I wasn't going to be as dynamic as Kelsey and Matt on my first go around, so I leaned heavily on what they created and continue to provide throughCodeJoy. I am still learning too.
Week 1: Introduction and LEDs
This is only Week 1 and you will see that I used the PD curriculum that CodeJoy created. I illegally screen captured Kelsey and Matt's amazing videos so that I could tweek them in Edpuzzle and add stopping points and clarifying questions. I tried to use the Robotic handout as a PDF for the reflections but quickly switched to creating Google Slides where my designers could capture both their thinking and add pictures of their code. |

BirdBrain PD (My Edpuzzle Hack)
Notes from Week 1:
I do realize that a kit per two people is what I need for my classroom. I had three designers to a kit but it really allowed one of the designers to not be engaged and that is not what I want to see happening. More fundraising on the way.....
