Community reviews for Code.org

Code.org is an incredible teaching tool. I love how accessible it is for both teachers and students, even those who are brand new to coding. The lessons are engaging, interactive, and designed to be fun, which helps keep students motivated. I also appreciate the wide range of resources and support for educators

I think overall this is a relatively good tool to use to begin practicing basic concepts to learn coding. I don't think it is very good for very intermediate level concepts like learning functions or classes but it's very good for learning the basics like variables, loops, lists and so on. I like how there are multiple different types of game related concepts especially familiar ones like Minecraft it makes it more engaging for younger audiences. I do wish that some of the tasks and games would have better performance but I understand that can be very difficult to implement for a multifaceted web design like this. Overall I think it's really great and should definingly be tried to teach beginners

Code.org revolutionizes computer science education by making programming both accessible and engaging. The curriculum gives structured pathways toward computational thinking to students of diverse backgrounds. While this is not a complete system for programming, it works effectively in bridging the gaps in technological literacy necessary for students in a fast-moving digital world.

I enjoyed this because it brought out a creative side to coding where you are able to see everything you are doing. You are able to create what ever you want from visuals or text.

Very engaging for young students to get their feet in the door of the world of computer science and coding. Teaches the students the basics like running the code, compiling, and using cartoon avatars(Sprites) to keep students engaged and keep them progressing in their skills. Eventually this website and spark their interest in computer science, and allow them to express this as a future career pathway which can be a very encouraging sign in today's society.

I believe this is a great tool for children that are interested in learning Computer Science. It's too easy for students that previously have coding experiences but it allows the students to at least think like a programmer. I believe they need more hints for some of the exercises because I remembered I was doing the advanced questions and I got stuck on them. My teacher doesn't know how to solve it so it was a really frustrating experience to figure it out.

The great variety of activities that Code.org provides allows for students to not lose interest whilst also learn how to critically think in a diverse number of situations. The normally dry subject of coding becomes an engaging event for students to look forwards to in their day, whilst not overwhelming them in knowledge that they may not be interested in. Overall, this app is a great introductory tool to the world of coding.

Aprender la hora del código. Es mejorar, aprender jugando , con los alumnos mismo experimenten y los códigos y lo bloques.

Code.org is a good teaching tool because it is easy to get and help students to develop their critical thinking skills. It contains engaging activities that allow students to work individually. I like that Code.org is useful for elementary, middle, and high school. As a teacher assistant of elementary school, I believe that code.org will help students to develop computational thinking and problem solving. Also, I like that the activities are very creative and engaging, and it has challenging activities for students to learn ad develop problem solving skills. The app encourages students to use and develop their critical thinking skills. It is very helpful that has more than one language for the English language learners.

I have used it in the past for the Hour of Code, but with recent training I will be using it more and have the students set up their own accounts. For Hour of Code, my students love it and enjoy seeing how video games are put together with directions from a person.
