Episode 017: Distracted Classroom Part 2 & Programming Through Play

For this week's episode, we delve deeper into the Distracted Classroom and Mike's Minority Report theory (it's weird) and we look at programming games to teach coding. All the links will be below!

The question of the Month: In light of the articles from the last two weeks that we have been discussed with the Distracted Classroom, What do you do to keep your classroom engaged? What teaching strategies do you employ? How do you set your goals so that the students stay engaged in the classroom?
