My Take
This site is amazing. Paired with keyboarding so the students can type faster, they are learning a lot. I like that they can choose the language they want to program in and that they advance at their own pace.
How I Use It
I introduced this site to one student in my programming class because he was constantly getting on his phone to play Clash of Clans. He immediately took to it, because of the similar look and feel. Then the other students saw what he was doing and wanted to do it too. I introduced it to the rest of the class and now they are all working at programming. This is amazing.

I love it. Students are engaged and Admin is impressed!
I love the lesson plans, lesson slides and the usability of the platform. The learning games are intuitive and easy to use for beginner coders. I wish they had more lessons that align to the AP big ideas, especially "Lists".

Incredibly easy to use, streamlined, and Fun
Overall I really like this program, it allows for a great way to engage students, but also opens the door for students to work at their own pace on assignments. You have the ability to let students progress how they want, or you have the ability to gate progress for students and work through sections together. I don't have a lot of criticism for this program as it structures the learning in a way that slowly teaches students high level concepts, without ever being too much for them to handle.

Fun and challenging transition from block to written coding.
This product works well for the age groups I used it for. It is not too childish, where they think they are above it, but it is still fun. The learning curve is good. The first few levels take some getting used to, but after that, most students were able to get the hang of it. My kids who already loved coding went on to finish the course on their own, outside of class time.
