American article with Canadian parallels. Good read. #bced “The education crisis isn’t a passing problem. Leaders in education must heed the warning signs and pivot now to avert the worst of this crisis. Our teachers need us. Let’s be there for them.” forbes.com/sites/markcperna/…
Grateful to @CanCodeToLearn & @InkSmith3D for making coding a board so accessible to Ss & teachers with their LandEd seminar series. Elementary Ss can code an automated moisture sensor and water pump while learning about sustainable agriculture - can't wait to try this with Ss!

Waded into coding this spring break - so impressed with @coding_lynx's introductory course for teachers and @InkSmith3D's LandEd seminar. (We can program a bee counter in elementary?!) Both courses so well designed. Excited to share with Ss and open up new avenues for learning!
