Today Mr Des Forges came into Room 12 with a trolly full of ipad minis!
He show the class how to "code" using an app called Scratch Junior. (It's free!)
The children loved moving their character around the screen and changing the scenery.
In 2020 the new Digital Technology Curriculum will be put into place throughout NZ schools.
"It has been designed to ensure that all learners have the opportunity to become digitally capable individuals. There is a need for greater focus on our students building their skills so they can be innovative creators of digital solutions, moving beyond solely being users and consumers of digital technologies."
Ministry of Education.
I think our children are well on the way!
