AppCrawlr lets you know if there are better options out there. This could be a similar game with more challenging levels. Select 'See how it compares' for a detailed feature-by-feature comparison between apps. "

Hakitzu: the app teaching kids to code - video

Hakitzu: the app teaching kids to code - video | Teaching with Tablets | Scoop.it
From www.guardian.co.uk - May 5, 3:01 AM
The British startup hoping to create the next generation of coders by playing games
Interactive Development's comment, May 5, 10:52 AM
This would be a great thing, if it wasn't how it used to be for 2 decades with robo rumble and its spiritual siblings. The next step here would have been visual scripting to not only appeal to already coders but also to potentially coding interested kids that are not aware of it already.
Interactive Development's curator insight, May 5, 10:56 AM

Hakitzu plans to make coding more appealing to kids in a way that they claim to be new. Unluckily their concept is nearly as old as modern computers, as programming robots to combat existed for two decades and more, appealing once again only to kids already interested in the materia before getting in touch with this ...

 

Yet the fact that a startup was funded raises the hope that they go one step further, offering visual scripting to make it appealing to non-coding interested kids and especially girls too to enable kids to discover their interest in this topic even if they would never have thought to be into it.

From gettingsmart.com - April 26, 9:00 AM

"As I dig deeper into the reality of the one iPad Classroom I am most intrigued by apps that allow students and teachers to create. On a computer I have learned to weave together digital tools to make them do exactly what I want them to do, but I must admit I am not there yet on the iPad. One app that appeals to me for teaching and learning on an  iPad is Explain Everything."
