From Scratch to Python and Beyond:
effective strategies for scaffolding programming instruction
Presentation
Programming is an essential skill for the digital age, but it can be a challenging subject for both students and teachers.
Grok Academy will explore effective strategies for scaffolding programming instruction, from the Scratch programming language for beginners to more advanced programming concepts in Python and beyond.
We will discuss how to break down complex programming concepts into smaller, more manageable chunks, and provide practical tips and resources for teachers to use in their classrooms.
Grok will also explore how to develop students’ debugging skills, one of the most important aspects of programming.
We will examine various strategies for identifying, isolating, and fixing both logic and syntax errors, as well as how to create a supportive classroom environment that encourages students to experiment and learn from their mistakes.
