codeSpark Ignite

I had no idea how to code when starting this course. It was broken down so easily and I am walking away with a greater understanding.

Great course pitched at the right level. This course equipped me with the skills to teach young children the fundamentals of computer science. Great work and keep it up!

I have had some prior training through Code.org, but I feel that even if I did not have any prior training, CodeSpark was so easy to use and understand. I think this program is great for teachers that have never had any experience with computer science!

Honestly, at the beginning of the Ignite course, I did not know what to expect. The first module seemed easy and I thought that was all. When completing module 2 and 3 I felt more challenged which peaked my interest more and had me thinking about how to solve the puzzles.

CodeSpark Ignite is fun, engaging, and educational. I find the short videos provided at the beginning of each module very helpful because they explain the overall object(s) of each challenge. In addition, the modeling for the first two levels in each challenge is helpful because it introduces the player to the skills needed for the levels and on how to successfully complete them.

Loved this training!!! The resources are so helpful and understanding the concepts were made easier by using the visual resources such as the videos and the vocabulary cards.

Awesome to begin with computational thinking. Very engaging and funny. I learned without being afraid of it; simple and easy. Thank you.

I really enjoyed learning more computational thinking skills using the Foos. We have used the Foos for a couple year with the Hour of Code version. I haven't had much experience with the app and I really enjoyed it. It was so nice to have some unplugged lessons to go along with the Foos. I had always had trouble understanding the Lunch Conditionals version and had a hard time explaining that to the Kindergartners. I liked how every module build on skills students had already learned. This course was well put together and easy to learn and understand. Thank you for the opportunity.

It was wonderful to put myself in my students shoes and gain a better understanding so as to help them. I am very excited to share my learning with them. I know they will be over the moon excited to create their own games.

Everything was amazing. Explaining it that even younger kids can even understand. Great Job!

It was very interesting to learn about all of this and how to teach your students!

Really recommend this for anyone using codeSpark! It will help me to help everyone of my students,
