Digital Literacy for the Youth

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

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.
