[Year 12 SofDev] Sand pit environment to teacher programming at Years 9 and 10

[Lorraine Bignell]

Hi Daryl

I have used CodeHS a lot with Year 10 classes and I think that it
works well. I originally used it when it cost $15 per student but now
that it is mostly free it is even better.

 Hi all

 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. 

 CodeHS seems good but haven't used it yet.  
 DASH for HTML was great.

     Cheers
