Coding
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please share a comment on this post in which you defend your choice for the best coding tool/resource.
As you consider what you will write, think about the following questions...
1. What is the very best thing about this tool or the way in which you use the tool?
2. What might be improved?
3. What are the drawbacks and benefits for teachers and students using this tool?
4. How easy is it to keep your work and make use of it with other tools?
5. How might students represent their learning (in your actual content area) using this tool?
Thanks in advance for your great thinking.
Some tools you might consider...

ReplyDeleteThe students in the coding club really enjoy it!
Code Combat looks really cool. But it's tough to do with an iPad. The keyboard blocks the view.
ReplyDeleteGood feedback about the iPad use . . .

DeleteI had no idea BrainPop had coding, I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteMe Too!!!! Love it.
DeleteCode combat is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it as well, but it took me some time to get up and running. I think my kids would figure it out faster than I did.
DeleteI don't think coding is my thing, but codecombat was interesting.
ReplyDeletecodecombat rocks.
ReplyDeleteI did CodeCombat. I struggled a little bit at first, but want to keep going!
ReplyDeleteI really like code combat
ReplyDeleteI tried code combat, this is fun! I want to play more.
ReplyDeleteCode Combat was fun and pretty straight forward.
ReplyDeletever;y fun
ReplyDeleteBrain Pop coding will work for 1st graders!
ReplyDeletereally?
DeleteI know nothing about coding and this was fun! Learning and playing at the same time is da' bomb.
ReplyDeleteLove the scaffolded tasks/skills on code.org
ReplyDeleteNew on coding stuff but Scratch seems a good and easy one to use!
ReplyDeletecode.org is my speed. Slow and step by step. perfect for introducing students that have never tried coding.

ReplyDeleteI really liked code.org because it would be simple enough for my students to navugate during the last nine weeks of the year. Great critical thinking skills and incorporation of positional terms.

ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of brain pop, so i enjoyed playing around with it and look forward to using it next year!
ReplyDeleteCode.org is a great site or resource that I could use. Especially on slow days or time is left over in a class. I could have students work on this rather than just sit around and twiddle their thumbs.
