Get Started with Code 1
Get Started with Code 1 is a teacher guide published as a Multi-touch book on the iBooks Store. The guide supports teachers to teach concepts such as commands, debugging, loops, algorithms, and more through unplugged activities and practice with the free visual-based coding apps codeSpark Academy and Tynker. The lessons require no previous experience, so they’re perfect for first-time coders.
