My Take
Having worked with other visual programming apps, this one was surprisingly easy for my advance users to jump in and use with little or no instruction. I liked how it added one new feature for each lesson. The visual programming really helps students learn how to code without concern for all of the syntax of coding. It would be nice to have audio help if the student continues to guess wrong steps.
How I Use It
We use different programming apps on the ipads and different sites on the computer. I really like to have options for different levels of students to work through. This app was easy to use but advanced enough for quick learners.
