Great Introduction to Coding
Community Review for Code.org
My Take
I really liked this product and how it taught coding to students who had no experience with it prior. I preferred the apps in code.org that also incorporated typing the code rather than just dragging and dropping. It served my kids and my teaching by allowing them to create a game that is highly engaging but requires them to incorporate learning objectives into their game so that they are thinking and learning while having fun.
How I Use It
I used this product as a way to introduce students to coding and develop the necessary skills students would need in order to create an educational game that they could then have their peers play and learn from. The gradual steps to developing their coding skills worked very well, it was mainly a simple drag and drop of code lines in the correct order.
