Description
For CS classes or units, it’ll be easy to either assign courses or let students pick and choose their pursuits. Using the remix feature, students could build on one another’s creations, tapping into collaboration. Because there are so many things kids can create, Tynker could be a great choice for kids to show what they know through a game or coded presentation. The drawing and animations tools and ability to add music and sound effects allow for creativity beyond typical block coding, so kids can even use Tynker to express themselves in more open-ended ways. And while younger users and students who struggle with reading may need more one-on-one support, it’s definitely possible to use Tynker from a distance, using the streaming feature to present lessons asynchronously. Teachers can also assign courses to students within the Tynker app, where they can work offline without internet on an iPad, or students can follow one of the six levels of learning pathways for a more self-guided approach.
