Web Literacy in the Digital Age

Bootstrap fits into the Write > Code part of the Mozilla Web Literacy Map.  It integrates problem-solving and creativity which are part of the 21st Century Skills.  According to Mozilla there are several competencies that come with coding:

• Implementing models to think computationally while problem-solving.
• Developing and modifying algorithms to use while building and finding information.
• Identifying and applying common coding patterns and algorithms to help you problem solve.
• Understanding the development and use of tools for problem-solving.
• Developing materials for broader use by incorporating lessons learned and problem-solving.

I plan to integrate coding into my classroom while teaching my students Algebra / Coordinate Planes. My future 6th graders will enjoy creating their own video games while learning maths.
