Listen and learn: Ed talk 
This presentation will demonstrate how teachers can provide students with open-ended coding experiences that can ultimately bridge the gap between block and Python. We will also demonstrate how to blend their on-screen work with off-screen outputs, engaging students by providing them with tangible artifacts of their work that they can keep long after the lesson is completed. Ultimately, the goal is to provide an avenue for them to see programming as more of an art-form than a recipe and to generate an enthusiasm for coding creatively.
Introduction
Demonstration of TurtleArt and sites/applications that can be used
Exploration of the types of artwork that can be created with TurtleArt
Project showcase, sharing physical projects created from TurtleArt creations, breaking down the process used to generate them
Demonstration of how to transition from TurtleArt block coding to Python
Resources for further explorations and PLN members to connect with
