I love Hour of Code season! When I first started working with Hour of Code as a school librarian, I often leaned on the Hour of Code resources, which are amazing. Then I noticed more and more classroom teachers using the Hour of Code resources a handful of years ago, and I had access to more makerspace items, so I started incorporating other topics and/or makerspace items into coding like when I recently incorporated Ozobots and some other options with coding related to a book, The Barren Grounds.
Last year I made a choice board to share digitally with teachers and students since we were virtual last December. Late last week, I saw there were several more curriculum specific Hour of Code activities than I recalled seeing before. I also know that with NWEA testing, finals, projects, etc. in different courses or grade levels, that teachers might be able to utilize some subject area specific coding ideas for students who may finish early or need a brain break. So I revamped last year's code choice board to be three slides with different subject area sections. (Note - the options I focused on were geared towards middle schoolers and towards iPads.) If you would like to make your own copy of the above, here is a link that will force you to make a copy of my three embedded slides above and you can edit it however you wish.
