What I can teach with Hopscotch?
There are a few paths that you can choose to start teaching with Hopscotch.
- You can start with the first section in Templates called “A bite-sized intro to coding.”
It contains 3 simple introductory videos (5 min, 9 min, and 8 min) that will help your students get used to Hopscotch and build their first projects. Teachers have told us that these 3 tutorials make a great first class featuring Hopscotch, and (including set up) can fill a 45 minute to 1-hour class:
After you’ve finished “A bite-sized intro to coding” section you can proceed to the section called “How coding works”:
