Coding with Mobile Devices

Over the past week I learned about several interesting Coding Apps. I explored quite a mobile apps.  I shared the apps with small groups of students and asked them to evaluate the apps and give me feedback. Students were able to figure out the puzzle apps without much direction. The coding apps were a little more challenging.

Our favorites puzzle based apps were:

• Bee Bot
• Cargo Bot
• Daisy the Dinosaur
• Lightbot  
• Lightbot Jr  
• Kodable

I also explored several apps that create with code. Our favorites were:

• Scratch Jr
• Tickle

Common Sense Media publishes and evaluates many other coding resources on their 

Cool Coding Apps and Websites for Kids page.
