@StyleEpiphanies @notcapnamerica I was a mess. The injustice of it all.

@notcapnamerica Dancer In The Dark. Can’t do it! Bjork was amazing but no.

What’s a movie so depressing you can’t bear to watch it again?

@WordGnurd @GetSpectrum Exactly. It’s a caricature of outdated stereotypes.

@mullalyteach @DrStryjewski So symmetrical

@pcteachershs @Shellie13Ward @CodeMonkeySTU Glad you like the videos! Haha, kids are so impatient.

@Shellie13Ward @CodeMonkeySTU I love @pperfectsquares videos. So helpful when students are working at their own pace. They just fast forward to the part they need help with.

Today is Monkey Day so what better way to celebrate than with @CodeMonkeySTU #RUCSReady #NJCodes #CMChat #csedweek2021 #HourofCode2021 fun never ends.

@roxsbiscotti Always love a good caesar salad, and you two are the best!

Happy Halloween! From Caesar & Salad 🧡

@shirky17 @CodeMonkeySTU releasing a coding board game to teach kiddos coding in an unplugged way - compliments the online platform.

#STEM related board games???

@CodeMonkeySTU My middle schoolers loved Coding Chatbots after completing Banana Tales.

What’s your favorite CodeMonkey course? Dodo does math Beaver achiever Monkey Jr. Coding Chatbots Our favorite is… 🙊 #codingwithkids #kidswhocode #code #education

A6: Time. Finding the time to bring kids up to speed on the basics of coding so they can start using it as a tool. I had students learn Python using CM's BT and then did many "think alouds" before they were solving problems on their own.#CMChat #CSChat #MTBOS

@leenacodemonkey @CodeMonkeySTU Yes, I had one students who could not get enough problems to code. They would ask me all the time for more. I finally found projecteuler.net which is all about coding math problems.

@pperfectsquares @CodeMonkeySTU Did you find that your students would try to solve problems from their traditional math class by then using the computer? 💻

Q2: Have you coded in your math class beyond an hour of code? What does it look like? Please use the standard Q2 & A2 #TwitterChat format when replying!  #CMChat #CsChat #MTBOS

@leenacodemonkey @javierfaguilar Yes, because debugging is just part of the coding process. The best programmers are the best debuggers because they have to do A LOT of it!

@pperfectsquares @javierfaguilar Did you find that by giving students this opp that they were more risk adversed?

#CmChat Q3: Ideally, how would you apply coding in your classroom? Please use the standard Q3 & A3 #TwitterChat format when replying! #CMChat #CsChat #MTBOS

A5: I did this with my class. It's fun and many problems take just a few lines of code. Kids love learning how to make the computer do their work. Also, teaching someone (the computer) makes students look at the problem in a deeper way. #CMChat #CSChat #MTBOS

A4: I think this is a perfect application of coding. Coding and programming spreadsheets are made for this purpose. It's really an important skill that they'll benefit from long after the class is over. #CMChat #CSChat #MTBOS

@MrMacRaild Students light up given the chance to look at a topic from a fresh angle.

A3: Ideally I would like to use code to have students find paths to learning they may not have thought of or been exposed to by other teachers. It can open eyes in ways that traditional coursework may not. A new perspective may workin unique ways. #CMChat #CsChat #MTBoS

@leenacodemonkey Cool application and students could even get creative in coding the 3 step multiplication. Adding creativity to math is a great way of hooking students.

A2: I would have Ss work through scratch or any program with creative coding. We once did a story to teach younger Ss how to do a 3 step multiplication problem. #CmChat

@MrMacRaild @javierfaguilar I agree. Some students will really get into the coding of math, and enjoy interacting with it more.

@javierfaguilar A1: I think it would give reluctant math students something more to sink their teeth into and make connections in a unique way #cmchat

@javierfaguilar A1: I think there's a lot of opportunities, subject-matter wise, where it can make sense. Coding could be thought of as the new calculator in some ways, altho the learning curve is higher. #CMChat #CsChat #MTBOS

#CmChat Q1: What are your thoughts on integrating coding into the math curriculum? Please use the standard Q1 & A1 #TwitterChat format when replying! #CMChat #CsChat #MTBOS
