Algorithmic Programming

Looking to the Hour of Code website again it provides students with step by step instruction on how to increase their knowledge and understanding of computer programming and coding. In essence students are developing the computational skills needed for algorithmic solutions to problems. The Angry Birds simulations starts students with basic coding blocks and moves on to more complex ideas such as using repeat blocks to avoid lengthy coding formulas.

This tool could easily be integrated into the classroom for use with individual students or small groups and would meet the criteria under the digital curriculum in the strands for defining, designing and implementing processes and production skills.
