Community Review for codeSpark Academy

My Take
I believe this is going to be a GREAT experience for my STEM students. I would like to see coding involved in all aspects of the codeSpark experience. I would like to see an app for chromebooks as I am a 1:1 chromebook school.
How I Use It
I used codeSpark with my 2nd graders last year as an end of year coding activity. The students enjoyed the app and stayed engaged in the learning activities. I plan to use codeSpark this year with my 3rd and 4th graders starting at the beginning of the year.

codeSpark Academy is great for helping my students learn to code! But it displays the students' info publicly, so I had to create one account for my whole class. And it doesn't provide any further or more advanced learning. But my 2nd graders loved it!
I love the learning, but there could be more. When they learn a lot, they want to learn more!

Fun, gamified learning of coding and computational thinking!
I have used this project with my kids and my students. I think it is a great tool to teach coding. One caveat: if you are using Codespark on Chromebooks or older desktops, it can take a while to load.
