Block-based programming software such as Scratch have gained immense popularity over the years in getting kids used to “programming” at an early age. However, “real programming” is still very much text-based. In this week’s podcast, we’ll discuss the popular devices and tools that kids use in the classroom and how it shapes their initial understanding of what coding is.

Programming is a Creative Career | Coding Rooms - Weekly Podcast (Ep.6)

COVID-19 has made remote teaching hard. It is hard on students to lack the in-person support they need, but even tougher on teachers to remain motivated when talking through a screen - unsure if students are staying engaged. In today’s podcast, we’d like to discuss ways that can improve teaching programming remotely - particularly focusing on how interactive group activities and collaborative workspaces can help build your classroom community virtually.

Ways to Improve Teaching Programming Remotely | Coding Rooms - Weekly Podcast (Ep.7)

Chrome Repl.it Classroom exporter: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/replit-classroom-export-t/ebfkaedkgeelabfmoelfknchbjmjkoeb
Firefox Repl.it Classroom exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/replit-classroom-export-tool/

This week we want to share our Repl.it Classroom data exporter, that is offered as a Chrome and Firefox browser extension, used for exporting classroom data. Repl.it officially announced it’s retiring Repl.it Classroom by Jan 31st and left teachers scrambling to find ways to export their data and labs. If you go onto their Classrooms page on their website, it only shows ‘Teams for Education’ now. The lack of support for migration and continuity is really hard on educators. We created this tool to support teachers in obtaining their data easily; please watch for an introduction and demo on how to use our browser extension for exporting classrooms.
