I’m a teacher and I’m hoping someone can share some of the best platforms to teach middle schoolers how to code. Thanks.

- plondon514 5y agoOP here. I think Codecademy, Scrimba, and freecodecamp are great resources for new learners. Middle school though, that’s tough… If you’re interested in writing your own tutorials for your students, I think codeamigo would be great for that. Feel free to email me (email in profile) if you want help with that!
- garbanzoPDX 5y agoCodecademy and Treehouse are both great platforms that I've used and recommend. If you're looking for a great free intro to programming, I recommend "Learn to Program", available at https://pine.fm/LearnToProgram https://pine.fm/LearnToProgram. It's concise, introduces the reader to a very approachable programming language (Ruby), and geared toward total beginners. Coincidentally, I went on to work at the same company as the author later down the line which was pretty cool.
