Something about the words COETAIL Final Project 1 sends a shiver down my spine, rekindling anxiety that I haven’t experienced since sitting down for my final object-orientated programming exam, in which I had to write pseudo code – good times then. Maybe if COETAIL could change the name to “Just a Wee Project”, my urge to reach for the whisky to calm my nerves may be reduced. Nevertheless, I, and I mean we the COETAIL 11, have been handed this daunting task to complete. And as coincidence would have it, my marvelous MYP coordinator Maree has given me the holy grail of tasks – to design a whole week of lessons, around coding in Scratch; to be taken by 80 students later this year in May. It will be quite the challenge, as not many of our students have had much coding experience outside the Hour Of Code.
For this challenge, I have addressed ISTE standard and my own COETAIL learning goal of the empowered learner.
So, without any further procrastination, and maybe alliterations, I give you my COETAIL Final Project 1 Plan.
