I teach Computer Science Principles using Code.org and it is an amazing platform. Everything is laid out for you and it is basically a step by step instruction websiteI I still explore the Interactive Maps lessons for different classes offered just to look around and see if there is anything I could add to my classes work. I could see them maybe making classes that interact with each other, or show what sections of your class touches upon a different class. That might be useful for students taking two classes at once, or wanted to know what they learned pertains too the class they are in now. This might show them it showcases their math, literacy and technology skills that they have learned in the past. I also used code.org in the past for grades 7-8 and the way it was set up made the students feel like they were playing a video game, but they were actually learning how to code! Being my first year using Code.org as my whole teaching platform, I am pleasantly surprised at how nice it is! Especially when it comes to course progress! So nice and easy to use, you can just click on each students lessons and see what they are doing, and leave feedback!
