This week we learned about the Computer Science Industry and how powerful it is to learn how to code. Cobb County School District encourages students to learn about coding to be successful understanding how technology works. If you click on the Technology Services logo (left) there is more information on this initiative. This week we practiced coding in honor of National Coding Week (and they LOVED it). Check out the video we watched and the Hour of Code (above) for more ways the students can practice coding at home!
