<br>
<br>
Any advice/experience using online environments to teach computer science and programming at year 9/10 level. I have used and like Code.org and App Labs but would also like environments that force students to write line code. It also has to be comfortable for
teachers new to teaching coding to use and be free. <br>
<br>
CodeHS seems good but haven't used it yet. <br>
DASH for HTML was great.<br>
