What I love about codecademy.com!
- I love being able to start off from exactly where I was up to the last time I logged on. Whether that be an hour or a month ago.
- I love getting acknowledge for the effort I put in and how I am developing as a coder.
- Most of all I love how if I get stuck I can ask (or search) the Forum and find the support I need.
- I was having major troubles with the below exercise. In the forum I found others were having similar problems and experts were offering them solutions
- THIS IS AWESOME BECAUSE:
- a) I don't feel like a big goose for not understanding straight away.
- b) I get immediate answers to my queries and my learning can move on
What teachers can take from codecademy.com that can be applied to any classroom.
- Figure out where your students are up to and provide them with experiences that hit that point and allow them to develop.
- Acknowledge and celebrate all progress whether that be minuscule achievements from advanced learners or monumental development from students below the expected level.
- Create an environment in which students feel comfortable enough to ask for help (from the teacher or students) when they need it.
I encourage anyone and everyone to jump onto codecademy.com and 'Learn a lil, learn a lil' coding.
