Headphones are OK to use TODAY.

FIRST: If you did NOT do the "Day of Code" with John last December then start learning the system by programing your own Angry Birds & Plants Vs. Zombies here: http://learn.code.org/hoc/1

NEXT: If you already did the "Day of Code" with John then you can jump right in with making your own version of Flappy Bird here:    http://learn.code.org/s/6/level/148

Anything on Code.org/learn

LAST: If you finish early you may do TypingWeb or continue working with the hour of code.  Poke around on the site or, if you are ready for a challenge, try making a 3-D Frogger game here: http://sgda.cs.colorado.edu/arcade/...hour_of_code
