My go to intro to coding and beyond.
Community Review for Cork the Volcano - Puzzlets
My Take
This product is an excellent support to build a deeper understanding of basic computational skills. It is my go-to introduction to the world of coding (for both students and other teachers). Though the set up takes a bit of time at first( just getting multiple trays to connect to Bluetooth in one room can be difficult but the app has features that help improve this process), once organized students are able to excel in this game and learn in pairs without teacher guidance. It really is incredible to hear the conversations that are generated through paired play.
How I Use It
I use this product as an introduction to coding. It works well as a station in any classroom and really helps to reinforce skills involving sequencing events and logically solving problems. I also find that when students participate in paired play with this product the learning opportunities are even more beneficial. You will foster growth in your students in all 4 of the 4Cs when using this product in paired play.
