J2Code
A One Stop Option for Coding and Programming
J2Code
It is accessible via any connected device.
Work is saved online, so your work is available even if your device isn't.
J2Code is applicable for EYFS to KS2 and beyond via 3 different modules.
It is free to UK schools and available from Easter 2014.
It will be accompanied by a set of lesson plans/ideas.
The J2Code Modules
For EYFS there is a simple graphical interface that uses an on-screen turtle: or multiple turtles for the more able. It is a logical follow-on from floor turtles such as Bee-Bot.
J2Code has a Logo style interface that has all the expected Logo commands. The Logo interface is itself differentiated into 3 Levels.
The visual aspect of J2Code will be familiar to those who have used Scratch, Blockly, the Hopscotch app on iPad or the Code.org site before.
Support
Details of these courses were emailed to schools in February. Click here for more information.
As well as these courses, Staff CPD sessions can be tailored for your school, or cluster of schools.
Alternatively, I can work in class, alongside your staff to provide guidance and support as programming and coding are introduced to your pupils, using J2Code or other software/apps.
