How I Use It
I use it for getting my students involved in our local computer fair. One field they may enter is programming. It's a good introductory start that's more involved than the entry level sites like Scratch or Stencyl. Students must be able to read well and be somewhat good spellers or be able to use spell check.
My Take
This is a great tool for teaching basic programming. It does require good reading skills and writing skills and the ability to follow a format. It's a nice way to prepare students to enter the computer field and explore technology further.
