My Take

I liked it. I think if you were to do this lesson with a young group of students, it would help them to find if they like this type of work and would prepare them for when they are older and decide to take a computer programming class in high school. Set up was easy and the students were engaged.

How I Use It

This was a great program to let students use and explore on. I have older students and so they probably caught on faster than elementary students would, but it was still really good and helped me students.

Code Monkey is perfect Bridge

I love the lessons that I can teach the kids! I can see who is going ahead and who is behind. I can stop them if they are getting too far ahead! It makes life easier for the teacher and the kids. There are lots of add ons and this is also part of hour of code.

This looks like a great way to engage kids of all ages in learning to code. The gaming format keeps them interested and wanting to continue this after class time is over.

This is a great learning tool for students interested in coding or wanting to see if the coding field is something that would interest them. It gives them the basic tools and can allow them go deeper if they wish to do so.

Great way to move students from block coding to scripted coding!

I love the gap that CodeMonkey fills between block and scripted coding. It allows students to begin with blocks and see how those translate into scripted commands. However, I cannot depend on it because of the price-point. With all of the free options out there, I just keep looking, hoping to find an equivalent, while still understanding the need for paid products. I love that they offer a free trial, though. Thanks, CodeMonkey, for giving me a taste of something great!
