Tasks could have voice explanations for small children who doesn't read well.
Alexey Kazbaev found CodeMonkey:
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“I do not have to create tasks for my children. CodeMonkey does that for me, so it saves my time. Though younger children cannot be left on their own without control and advices. My son doesn't read well so I have to help him sometimes.”
- Slightly improves teaching efficiency
- Slightly improves school processes“I am not a school. I've chosen "parent" field to describe myself, but your quiz still thinks that I am a school worker.”
- Moderately builds student knowledge

You have sent me this survey 1 day after subscribing. That is too soon to really give you a better answer.

I have seen what my son learns and the approach. I think its great and engaging and teaches a lot of concepts gradually and we both love it

Using CodeMonkey is like playing a game in which you advance to the next level by solving puzzles. It is very entertaining but you are not only playing games you are learning at the same time!

Overall great platform, though I find it is hard for a 7-yo to remain engaged without supervision, whereas my 9 and 11-yos are fully engaged by themselves. Perhaps an age-differentiated offering might help solve this

Great for children, I'd like monthly payment option because I don't know if he will like it the next week or not.

needs some work on the UI, it's not very intuitive in areas. I have already send feedback about this in livechat.

too soon for me to say. the kid is learning, but I still need to remind him to sit and use codemonkey.com. it's not yet something he truly enjoys as a game (e.g. he could sit for hours on minecraft without anyone asking him to).

It's annoying that we signed up for a quarter and the payment is automatically renewed. Instead you should contact us and ask if we want to renew our subscription. In addition, the application version should be the same as the computer version. Today the app is very childish and different from the excellent version of the computer. Thank you

My 12 year old enjoys coding and we've been through a lot of courses since we started homeschooling 3 years ago. So far, CodeMonkey is his favourite. He says it's fun and he doesn't get frustrated when he makes mistakes.
