      • @joyneace That’s great! What types of projects will they build? We could feature some of their work on the Holler, or throw out some coding challenges once they are far enough along.

        • They will be building a website that will require the use of databases. They will get to be creative about content. These students already know some Python and have created games in Snap!

  • Voki Classroom is a great resource for students and teachers. The teacher can create lessons, review student work, and publish work to its own webpage.
