Comments: This could be a good site for lower grade (K-1 or maybe K-2) students, it is written language free. There are lots of sites with better integration of the Technology standards. There are also lots of sites using block based codes that are more standard or like Scratch etc. The free access for teachers is funded by parents paying for access at home. I would warn that giving the students first name and last initial and parents email address could give away data. The parents email address is optional.

Approved*: Yes
