<html><body style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Hi Daryl<br /><br />I have used CodeHS a lot with Year 10 classes and I think that it works well. I originally used it when it cost $15 per student but now that it is mostly free it is even better.<br /><br />Lorraine Bignell<br />Kingswood College <br /><br /><br /><blockquote><br />----- Original Message -----<br /><div style="width:100%;background:rgb(228,228,228);"><div style="font-weight:bold;">From:</div> "Year 12 Software Development Teachers' Mailing List" <sofdev@edulists.com.au></div><br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">To:</div>"sofdev@edulists.com.au" <sofdev@edulists.com.au><br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Cc:</div><br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Sent:</div>Sun, 27 Nov 2016 01:49:00 +0000<br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Subject:</div>[Year 12 SofDev] Sand pit environment to teacher programming at Years 9 and 10<br /><br /><br /><div style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000000;font-size:12pt;">
Hi all<br /><br /><br />
Any advice/experience using online environments to teach computer science and programming at year 9/10 level. I have used and like Code.org and App Labs but would also like environments that force students to write line code. It also has to be comfortable for
teachers new to teaching coding to use and be free. <br /><br />
CodeHS seems good but haven't used it yet. <br />
DASH for HTML was great.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px;">
