ECS / SC/ Programming experience using iPads
Posted: 26 Oct 2013 - 21:43 by: szanotti

Hi

Many of you know I am now out of the classroom working on the CCTP/iPad rollout. One of my person goals in the progrect is to bring computer science to students in the 47 Phase 1 schools.

Last week's meeting got me very excited when I was able to access the Code Academy content on the iPad without a problem. Also last week I downloaded a 99 cent Scratch App that contains a number of identical lessons and activities that are very similar, if not identical to the web based Scratch using Flash on PC/MAC machines.
