The Hour of Code week is almost here (Dec. 8-14, 2014) and we are thrilled to have two outstanding teachers as our special guests to kick off the Hour of Code week. They will share details about the Hour of Code and tips and resources you can use to get your classes involved in this exciting, life-changing experience. Gail Poulin and Kevin Hodgson will share their passions for coding and programming with students as creators as well as consumers through their stories and student examples. Gail Poulin teaches Kindergarten and Kevin teaches 6th grade in William E. Norris School in Southampton, MA.
