My Take
I would have loved to use this when I ran the computer lab at the elementary level. The students would have loved the characters and colors in the animations. This would definitely keep the students engaged and learning.
How I Use It
I used this product as an intro to coding. I have students who are lower level learners and this helped build confidence as well as an introduction to coding.
