My Take
I'd like to see a culminating project and a way for teachers to see progress of students. For now, I'll continue spot checking!
How I Use It
When I start teaching about how to code using html, I talk about how it works and show students what they can do with a few simple tags. Then I show them this site, and let them go. I rarely have to answer questions or correct their code. For that, I thank Code Avengers! I haven't used the javascript portion or the paid portion.

I wanna be a Code Avenger
My students love it. I love it. I recommend to anyone teaching coding to high school students.

I would place this on the Modification level of SAMR because of the significant functional change to the task of writing a we page in coding when compared to Notepad or Notepad-plus-plus.

Excellent website for teaching coding
I think Code Avengers as a teaching tool is excellent. It walks students step-by-step through the elements of coding and provides real-time feedback as they see their webpage developing. It is not easy...it is best for high school students. HTML is very dry to teach, and challenging. This format of interactive lessons makes it more appealing to students while still really teaching them HTML. It also has resources and supports for students who are struggling. The only element I am missing as a teacher is possibly some kind of answer key or more supports for teachers. For now, my answer key is my own completed lessons.
