I thought this website had fun and interactive games that encouraged the use of the thought processes behind coding. These games are a great way for kids to get involved in coding in a way that keeps their attention but also challenges them. I think this could be a good activity to do in pairs or during free time/centers. I would absolutely be willing to let my students play these sometimes, but I wouldn’t make it an everyday thing. Because I am early childhood I like that this provides the basic idea behind coding without it being too complicated.

I think the best thing about this website is that it exposes children to the idea of computer science and programming. I like that it helps them become aware that it is actually a thing that they can do and that it can be fun, especially since I will be working with such a young age. The games give a good amount of instruction while also providing help if necessary, and I also love that it shows you the actual code.
