Hour of Code is coming December 4th-11 so be sure to take part in their online activities and let your local schools know how easy it is to join up. In addition this year I will be hosting a littleBits & Lego WeDo workshops after school for drop in activities. One of my favorite robots, Dash will probably make an appearance as well (shhhh don't tell Cozmo).
littleBits has been doing a great job putting educators and technology business reps together for webinars so be sure to become a part of their email list. I recently attended:
How to Host An Epic Hour of Code
They are also adding lots of content to their library community blog like this post from one of their Global Chapters including Educators Guide with lesson plans to help kick start your littleBits programming. One thing I took away from the webinar that I didn't know was Scratch is also making lesson plans to guide educators in using their products and hosting meetup groups for in person collaboration all over the US. It makes sense!
