My teaching life before I figured out how to flip my classroom was exhausting! I was giving the same demonstration all week, having to manage classroom behaviors while trying to teach, and running around answering the same questions over and over. Within just one week of starting to use screencasts, I was leaving school with energy to burn and my students were WAY more productive. I felt like I stumbled upon magic.

I’m writing this blog post to encourage teachers to do something that might seem scary or too hard – teach coding. Most people who haven’t done it before think that it requires some special program or software to get started.
