Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
Inside this post are my thoughts for KidCoder and TeenCoder as I am conducting a review for Tomoson. I knew KidCoder and TeenCoder would give me something to have Charlie do during the Summer. To continue Charlie learning as we all know that kids forget what they learn over the Summer and since I wanted to stop this from happening we will be working throughout the Summer. AWW I know I am a mean mom but with Charlie struggling it is better to keep him on the same track as when he is in school.
We will have time to have fun and do things he enjoys along with learning. These courses are done on the computer which means we can go outside and work. Plus we can take it if we take a trip. I can also share it with the neighbors, and we can all work together on the lessons and keep the kids out of the heat and stop them from always playing video games.
I like that this teaches a child who to design a game and to build a website. Charlie loves to create all kinds of things KidCoder, TeenCoder program allows Charlie to use his imagination. Which will help Charlie stay more focused? Plus it will help Charlie with his reading.
I had Charlie use this, and he was so excited and loved learning that it even got David excited so I know it would be a hit in anyone’s home. As a Blogger, I would also use this program as it would help me with things I struggle with such as HTML which everyone knows a Blogger uses on a daily basis.
This course is for 4th grade and up but if a parent works with there children, then I think any age would be able to use the products and would not get bored as there are 4 different courses.
My stepdaughter is in 12 grade this year, and I like knowing they even have programs for her age as she wants to take computers in college and if she uses this program she would be ahead of the other students.
