CodeMonkey provides many courses from the pre-school through high school level with built in guidance that provides students with hints and tutorial videos in a gamefied environment. On the teacher side, classes are extremely easy to set up and assigning and grading assignments is very straitforward. New courses appear throughout each school year. When any problems or questions arise as do for any online software, help and support is provided to quickly resolve issues.

Anthony found CodeMonkey:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    Gamified challenges are set up to be assigned with grading included. Tutorial videos and maps are provided to help foster a student centered classroom. This allows me as the teacher to freely roam around and provide one on one help where needed.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    Vocabulary and goals are clearly provided in the included maps, tutorial videos, and hints to ensure that students who achieve at a high level have mastered concepts.
  • Slightly improves school processes
  • Moderately builds student knowledge
    One good example is the use of arrays/lists and programming loops to iterate through an array to execute code on each element. This concept carries over and helps with spreadsheets when students are learning to program sum, average, max, and min functions on arrays of numbers.
