The hour of code is upon us! and we are so excited about all of the possibilities for coding in class. If you made plans for what to do during hour of code a month ago, it might be time to change those plans.
Coding app developers have been staying up late to get the best tools in your hands for computer science education week. I just found out that after spending the day at Hausner's family coding event, Neil and Grechen went back to Kodable HQ and launched the web version of Kodable.

That is right, now you can play everybody's favorite coding app for pre-readers on a desktop machine in the browser, In fact, it is optimized for chromebooks. The reports from the beta tests indicate that it will even work on your android tablet or phone, although this is less than ideal. It won't play on an ipad, but they have the app for that.
For existing Kodable class users, teachers can have students log in with their class code or student code. For teachers not yet using Kodable, students can start a new game for free, then save it with a student code. This progress will sync when they play on the iPad as well.
