This document provides information about coding and robotics education resources for teachers. It includes descriptions of coding apps like Hopscotch and Lightbot that teach programming concepts through games. It also discusses using Sphero robots and the Swift coding language to teach problem solving, measurement, and coding skills. Additional resources mentioned include binary bracelet activities, simulations, literature connections, and iTunesU courses for using Sphero in lessons. Contact information is provided for several educators implementing coding and robotics programs.
