Codecademy School Computer Science Curriculum

Codecademy can be useful to educators in at least two ways. First, the site does a nice job of teaching beginners to code in HTML, Python, Java, and other languages. Even spending just an hour or two with the Web Fundamentals section, which explains the workings of HTML, can help educators of all kinds understand how web pages work - a knowledge base with wide implications for various lesson plans. Beyond that, the site can be useful for educators who would like to introduce students to coding languages and concepts. For instance, readers will find eight interactive lessons dedicated to HTML Basics, another eight explicating CSS, and a full 36 lessons orbiting the complexities of Python. The interactive style of the page makes learning accessible and engaging so students will be more likely to dive in and experiment themselves.
