In the Spring edition of JCDS’ Nitzotzot, the “Coding: The New Literacy” article describes how they are using KIBO and ScratchJr to introduce students to coding as a literacy vs. just learning programming and robotics.

The article reads in part, “Students learn best when solving authentic problems and engaging in project-based learning. Coding is not just about STEM-coding is about expressing the human beings, which includes the Jewish Identity.” Said one teacher, “It is amazing to see how much students learned on their own and how much they learned from trial and error.”
