What is Block-Based Coding

This chapter provides insight into how two educators researched, planned, and co-taught a remote learning arts-integrated project during the pandemic. Student interest in video games generated an inquiry-based collaboration centered around pixel art and video game narratives. The authors combined digital animation with cross-stitching and language arts to address the multiple ways that students learn. The authors believed that by combining technology and language arts with visual arts, students could take a more project-based approach to their learning, which they hoped would lead to greater student engagement. The authors share their challenges and future opportunities that were made visible during this project.
