Community reviews for CodeHS

I see codeHS as being a very fun tool, it makes it easy for the students to learn and the only people who struggle are those who goof off and don't put anything into the work. Literally, you can rewatch and actually listen to the video explaining what to do and why and how to do except some don't. it builds you up so you aren't struggling with "make a website with CSS and javascript." Its rather engaging too. I see new stuff every new uhh block of work to do and its a fun challenge like "make karel paint a 40px by 40px painting". Its excellent positive reinforcement because of the satisfaction you feel when your code works making you want to code even more. There is no negative punishment, so that's great! Some students struggle with the explanation when they can get through, codeHS can be picky sometimes but usually they like fuberd it , didn't watch the video, checked the debugger, or have never bothered to stop and read the assignments tab which usually solves. It's got a sandbox mode with a variety of languages. I'd say sandbox is one compiler but teachers can use it to grade. most recently I completed the HTML make your own website pt2 and i'm proud of it.

Great tool for younger students to learn coding in interactive ways!

I would highly recommend CodeHS for computer teachers in need of quick web-based curriculum. I recommend supplementing lessons with off-line activities for younger learners. CodeHS AP Computer Science curriculum has been invaluable for us. The price is hefty for our small school, but worth the in-depth tutorials and exercises.

I am new to teaching coding as a class and CodeHS was a TOTAL life saver for me. The Pro version has an amazing Learning Management System that allows me to view progress, scores, and allows students to send questions to me for help. The lesson plans that they supply are useful and easy to follow, even if your knowledge of the subject is a bit limited. If you are a teacher who is hesitant about teaching coding because you don't feel like you have enough personal knowledge, then you should definitely try CodeHS. Your students can move at their own pace and the support team at CodeHS is very responsive.

This product as a teaching tool is very good for students who are interested in Computer Science.

I really like that the site is great resource for new computer science teachers as well as a good learning and review tool for students.

This was a great tool. I liked that the students could work at their own pace. Teachers can see the students progress. I really have no suggestions to make this program better, it is a great tool to teach students to learn how to code.

Being that I do not have a background in computer science, I have given CodeHS a try. It allows me to learn right alongside my students. My students love coding, and love being able to control Karel. As mentioned previously, if you have YouTube blocked, you may have problems with the videos. Overall, a great coding tool

This is great to start the introduction to code. It is not for advanced users. But, I found that the students enjoyed learning the basics.

The instruction is not intimidating and easy to follow through. I like the way how the instructor make programming a fun experience for the students. I would love using this tool for my web page design class; however, it's too expensive for the students.
