Why This?This resource has been included as a extension for those who are increasingly comfortable utilising digital technology and web based resources as a part of their practice. The resource is suitable for students and teachers. It combines the problem-solving of coding with the opportunity to construct and present information in new ways. In a situation where students are unfamiliar with coding, I would recommend focus on teaching that before incorporating the story writing aspect of it. This coding app has been included because it offers a the freedom to build on others' work and 'remix' it (to use the site's term) and to gain feedback from other users. It, unlike many other web based (free) resources also provides the opportunity to move beyond content consumption to creation and integrate digital literacy skills in a new presentation means.
