Get On Board With Coding...



Computer Science isn't so scary for our kids because they are being introduced to it young... with 1:1 devices our students are definitely at the forefront with access to these types of opportunities. We have class blogs, student blogs and our kids have become very competent using Google Drive and other Apps.

In 2018 Digital technology will be fully integrated into the New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa.   The BOT and Management Team at Rangikura School are not waiting for 2018 to roll in.  We are already integrating Digital technology into our Student's learning because it's all about our kids.  We are providing them with opportunities to learn the skills they will need to solve problems in their future. 


If you haven't seen how technology is changing employment opportunities for our kids, check out the video below:



If you are keen to learn how to code for FREE check out this website:www.code.org 

Students in Room 10 have been coding using this site for a term now and some are already up to level 3! 

Start at the very beginning.... all you need is an email (gmail preferred as you can use this to view your child's learning at school).

Happy to chat with you if you are keen to know more
