Free Coding Websites

Heyyy 😃
Today I'll let you know about my favorite coding websites that I've been using with my elementary classes- grade 3->6. Honestly speaking kids loved spending their time on these websites. Whenever they are done working with their activity they immediately open to one of these websites and start playing, it makes them enthusiastic and happy. They love getting challenges and they start thinking about how they should solve and ask for help from their friends and i. They even told me that they are accessing these website in their home. I really encourage you to check them out and let your students access them in their free time. I bet you and your students would love them!!!

Data Processing

Explaining data processing for grade 1 students could be challenging. Students must learn what are Input parts, differentiate them from output parts, and understand how data is being processed. Infographics   attracts students by graphical representation of information rather than large texts.  They  help in  breaking down complicated concepts into understandable pieces of information which students can absorb and digest effortless.  During my masters study in Educational Technology - in the E-evaluation course I collaborated with my colleges  Ali Ghanawi and Imad Noureddine to create this infographic which helps us in explaining data processing lesson to grade 1 students.  Note that it was create using   Easilly  which is a web-based infographic platform used by educators, students, executives and businesses for representing and conveying their ideas, concepts, reports, processes and projects through visual forms that are easy to follow a...

Step 2: Go to the last line of the file, hit the enter key and type in the following format: 127.0.0.1 xxxx.com Eg: If you want to block facebook.com and myspace.com 127.0.0.1 facebook.com 127.0.0.1 myspace.com Step 3: Save the modified file That’s it. None of the above sites can be visited on your computer. One per line if you want to add more web sites. Note that you should have administrator rights so that you can modify the "hosts" file. I used this way to block access to some games' websites that were inappropriate for my students, and it worked perfectly. ...
