Learning Coding and ICT skills over the summer holiday


Scratch

Gives students a lot of freedom to make games, presentations and animations.  Here is the main site and some tutorials

Kodu

Designed to teach some computational thinking through making 3D games. Requires a Windows PC download.

Code.org

Great web-based set of fun tutorials to teach computational Thinking. Does not require any installation on a PC and works over most Internet connections.

Website: http://studio.code.org/

Codecademy

A more serious option, but one that teaches great skills such as coding Web-pages, Javascript and languages used by most computer scientists

General ICT

Lots of courses for ICT on a wide range of applications. I'd recommend using PowerPoint and Excel (or equivalents) as the main applications to have a look at. on Alison.com
