Connecting ELA and Coding

For this week’s Insights post, I wanted to dig a little deeper on one of the many options for connecting English Language Arts with another subject. and chose VEXcode VR as the focus.

As you do already with ELA, common concepts and practices like vocabulary, creative writing, and expository text are enveloped in different classes as well. So why not include this in a computer science class with VEXcode VR? This article breaks down these three categories and shows a VEXcode VR activity that can be used to incorporate ELA and CS together.

Many of these ideas stemmed from videos featured in one of our VEX Masterclasses - Cross Curricular Connections with VEXcode VR. This is a great resource for All Access PD+ members looking to bring all different kinds of subjects into their CS classroom (or bringing CS into the subjects already taught in their classroom)

How are you using VEXcode VR to create cross-curricular connections in your classroom?
