Pros

• The results from changes in code are immediately displayed so coders can develop a deeper understanding of their code
• Students who want to explore and advance on their own are free to try other options and learn by experimenting independently
• Simple, easy-to-follow steps are broken down to help a variety of learners

Cons

• At times, correct solutions may not be recognized by the coding app. Have students share their unique solutions, so others can see the number of different solutions that are possible.
