Training for Teaching Programming

Reprinted from the PEG page, a programming education project promoted by CANVAS.

*********************************************

On Saturday, November 19, we held a training session for school teachers,
featuring Kazuhiro Abe as the instructor, with CANVAS providing support!
This workshop was
part of a series held during the 20th National Conference on Audiovisual Education. Under the theme “Training for Teaching Programming,” it was conducted for
approximately 30 school teachers.

The workshop consisted of a two-hour session that ranged from classroom instruction—including an introduction to the philosophy of programming education and practical examples—to a
hands-on activity where participants created simple projects using Scratch.

I hope that through events like
this one, we can create
opportunities for discussion and collaboration with school teachers and community leaders that will lead to future initiatives.
