1st Grade Teacher

ICEF View Park Preparatory Middle School, United States of America

Used CodeMonkey daily for 0–3 months

Jan 2023

I like that I don't have to be a coding expert to use it. The solutions page allow me to help give my student hints for what he needs to do. It's also an investment in his future as a potential computer programmer, a job skill that will always be in high demand.

Ms. Casillas found CodeMonkey:
  • Moderately reduces teacher workload
    There is a gifted child in my 1st grade class who I struggle to find enrichment opportunities for. Given his high reading ability and mathematic proficiency, coding has been a perfect way to fill his idle hours in the classroom and keep him out of trouble.
  • Moderately improves teaching efficiency
    It keeps my gifted student motivated to finish his work on his own so he can get back to coding.
  • Slightly improves school processes
    If by "processes" you mean "transitions", then it's about the same. My gifted student is glued to his computer when it's time to go to recess or lunch and it's a struggle to get him out the door. However, this was the case even before I installed CodeMonkey.
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    It goes into math concepts that haven't been covered in class yet, such as negative numbers, measuring, and multiplication.
