Reviews
Hopscotch is a great way to introduce pupils to coding / programming. Especially if you are looking forward to the introduction of the new 2014 Computing Curriculum in the UK.
Start with the pupils figuring out how to make a square then move on to creating simple game that they can test on their classmates.
As other reviewers have mentioned this is a great way to get pupils engaged in coding with a colourful and clear interface.
This is a fantastic entry-level application for teaching students the basics of computer programming. It is fun and engaging and the students love to use it. It feels like a game to some of them and they typically don’t realize that the fundamental concepts of programming are being taught. From here I would love to Scratch or Phrogram.
I use this tool to teach elementary age students to do basic coding.
