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.

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.

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.

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!
