Personally I love the online tutorials. Always up-to-date and no installation required. Most work on iPads as they are HTML5 nowadays. If you have any to add, please shoot me an email, tweet or comment below!

    Hi Brian,

    I am looking for Scratch ideas for probability. I’ve seen your TED and I liked the coin programme. Any ideas you have, I’d love for you to share.

    Thanks

    Amanda

    Great List, we have had great success using Penjee (https://penjee.com) at our school, a free site for teaching Python. It works great as the first stop after drag and drop ( We love Scratch and Alice which are already on your list)–and when the kids are first ready to start rolling up their sleeves with some hand coding!
