Teaching Tools – Educational Applications
The last episode introduces some useful applications and websites which are tailored to a certain age group of young learners. Some have colorful features to attract children’s attention, while some provide simple instructions and video tutorials for them to learn. Those I picked can be served as examples to give the audience some ideas about features, functions, and specialties that they can pay attention to when they are looking for the resources for young learners. Since each child will have their own preferences in mind, and depends on their ages, levels, learning styles, and even learning purposes, we still need to find ones that are suitable for them based on their needs so that we can effectively let them learn to code with play.

Teaching Tools – Interactive Online Games
Games are very important in young children’s learning, and that is why we should definitely include some when teaching coding to young learners. To make our coding lessons more effective, we should provide our learners with some resources that are suitable for their ages and levels. Compared with the last episode, this focuses more on the online resources that we can find some interactive programming games and activities for young children to play and learn at the same time. The ones I point out and share are all have some specialties; some include a storyline when introducing a programming language, some have different roles for the players to take part in and control the character. These resources are not limited to be used in the classroom but can function as a way to help young learners review the coding concepts and languages they have learned as well.

Teaching Methods – Unplugged Approach
How are we going to teach coding without using any technology device? Many educators may have the same question, and actually it is possible to do it. The audience can easily find the answer in this episode. By using unplugged approach, they will not be limited to teach coding in the labs or technology classrooms, and they can even gather materials they have and create fun activities for young children to learn coding outside the classroom. The complicated coding concepts can be incorporated into unplugged activities, and I use some interesting examples to demonstrate how to get young children involved in programming learning without a computer, like learning Algorithms through making origami and understanding the binary code by using beads to spell their names.
