Everyone knows that kids who learn to code, will have a big advantage in the workplace and in life. Besides the fact that coding is a valuable skillset with an amazing number of high paying jobs, the mental training that comes with learning to code cannot be underestimated.<\/p>\n
Homeschooling your kids in code<\/strong><\/p>\n If you don\u2019t know web design and coding, you need a structured curriculum that will gently teach your kids. Courses have to be easy to understand, fun and practical. Yes, practical: nothing motivates kids to learn when they see that they are building real things.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2026 What\u2019s more fun for a kid, to learn to drive a go-cart, or a real car?<\/p>\n Which coding languages should kids learn?<\/strong><\/p>\n Teaching your kids to code in any language is great, but I would say the most important and effective languages to teach are the languages of the Web:<\/p>\n Besides being used to create all the world\u2019s websites and web apps (ex: google, facebook, amazon), these coding languages are also a popular choice in creating games and mobile apps that work on iPhone, iPads, Android devices and even Windows mobile devices.<\/p>\n Another great thing about these languages is that they are visual: students see their code come to life in real-world projects. This touch of reality is far more engaging than writing code that moves a character around a screen in a simulator.<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been coding since 1994, teaching code since 2003 and helping schools teach code over the last 6 years. That experience teaches you a lot about teaching.
