Codemoji & Microbit
January 29, 2024
Liven up your lessons and get your students coding with Codemoji! This fun app lets students learn real programming languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a playful way by creating their own emojis.
Codemoji
With intuitive block-based coding, students can easily build emoji projects from scratch. They’ll gain valuable problem-solving skills and technical know-how as they customize designs, animate motions, and add interactivity. Teachers can assign guided lessons that align with curriculum goals or let students freely explore and create their own projects.
Codemoji’s step-by-step challenges introduce the basics of coding, from sequencing commands to calling functions and handling events. As students advance, they can level up to more sophisticated programming techniques like variables, loops, and conditions. Throughout the learning process, they’ll get motivated by bringing their own ideas to life.
Whether you teach computer science or want to incorporate coding across subjects, Codemoji makes it engaging and simple. The visual drag-and-drop interface allows students to focus on computational thinking rather than syntax. With Codemoji, your class will be all smiles as they apply their new coding superpowers to build personalized emojis while developing valuable 21st century skills!
MicroBits
If you are familiar with Micro Bits, you know that they are a great little STEM tool to teach kids how to code. Well, you don’t need an actual Micro Bit to use the website to practice coding! Go to https://makecode.microbit.org/# and you can have all the fun coding with the premade activities or just practice on your own! Check it out!
