017 : 3-7 yrs Explore. Create. Code with mama codes

mama.codes mission is to start all young children on their coding journey and give them the confidence and ability to code. The teaching method introduces children as young as three to coding through song, rhyme and storytelling using free kids’ coding App ScratchJr. Coding is the new literacy. It is on the school curriculum in the UK from age 5 because it is important that every child is digitally literate in order to thrive and succeed in an increasingly digital world. Through following our creative coding projects, children of all backgrounds and learning styles are able to learn to code creatively with confidence. Most importantly they can have a lot of fun with code, and make full use of their bountiful imagination. http://educator.mama.codes https://twitter.com/mamacodes https://www.facebook.com/mama.codes/ https://www.scratchjr.org

Om Podcasten

Do you feel the education system is sucking the life out of you and the pupils you serve? I think many of us wish we could click our fingers and make it fit for purpose. A place of growth with shared learning that empowers pupils to be their best selves, so they can create a world they want to inhabit now and in the future. While a magic wand or a visionary politician might sound like the answer I believe change is already happening. Educators are changing futures one conversation at a time. New technology and the environments where we learn are beginning to look different both in and out of the classroom. I hope you are seeing this first hand and are excited about what you can share with your pupils. We are having conversations, sharing organisations and communities that are supporting education in a way that you may have not experienced. Educational change will come from us all working in way that supports the best interests of each of our pupils, personalised learning. Governments and policy makers will follow when they see fully how it can be different. So let us teach, coach, mentor and create an environment that fuels every child with feedback, inspiration, resilience and empowerment. The Education on Fire community is shining the torch, so no matter where you are in the world or how you are supporting children this podcast is here for you. ‘Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.’
