Basic Coding Apps to Get Started

Grade 1 students participated in the Hour of Code this week, testing out three different apps that are a good introduction to the basics of computer programming (coding).

By far, the students' favorite coding app has been Kodable.  It is free in the US and Singapore itunes stores.

Their 2nd favorite has been Scratch Jr, also free in the US and Singapore itunes stores.

Then, their 3rd favorite was Daisy the Dinosaur.  Again, free in the US and Singapore itunes stores.

Here are some photos of Grade 1 students during the Hour of Code lesson.
