It's GTG hat-turning time, switching from "eco" to "edtech." Sometimes, they can be two sides of the same coin. This week, however (given it's Computer Science Education Week), it's heavy-handed on that edtech side. And kids nation wide are loving it!
Thousands of teachers nation-wide are doing the same.
If you haven't taken advantage of Hour of Code/Computer Science Education Week--it's not too late. Here are a number of resources that will assist you on this quest.
