Today is our first live Hangout on air that we have ever hosted. We have completed private Hangouts with Connected Classrooms and other guest speakers, however we thought that we would take the liberty of recording this one because the last CEO we talked to was so interesting and informative that we wanted to do it again. In our many virtual field trips we have been to Switzerland, Washington DC, the Mojave Desert, Irvine, South Korea, Charlottesville, VA and Antarctica; however we were never in control of those Hangouts until now.
Thanks to the discussion boards at Edweb.net I, Mr. Clayton, was connected with Grant Hosford, the CEO of Codespark.org and creator of the learn-to-code game app called The Foos. He shared his app with me and sent my students some cool limited edition stickers for The Foos; something that made them even more excited to speak with him today. We can not wait to share this experience with the world and hope that all goes well with the Hangout. If it does there will be more live Hangouts to follow, hopefully featuring educational experiences that will take us out of the classroom and into the wide world.
Follow up to come soon!
