Coding

Here's an interesting article I discovered on TeachThought.  It discusses the need and importance for teaching computer programming in schools.  The article states," It is estimated that over the next ten years there will be 1.4 million computer science jobs created in the U.S., with only 400,000 qualified professionals to fill them."  Wow. That statement on it's own supports the need for coding in schools, but the article also lays out a plan for teachers to advocate for adding more computer programming classes in their buildings.  As an elementary tech teacher, I've used Scratch in the past, but the article introduced me to a few more I will try: Hopscotch, Kodu, and Lego's Mindstorms.  How do you teach computer programming?
