Recently, the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) came out with their 25 Best Apps for Teaching & Learning for 2014.  The apps were chosen because they foster innovation, creativity, active participation, and collaboration.

Kodable is one such app.  The app teaches coding to kids in a gaming environment.  Fuzzes – the characters users play with – “are very logical and will follow every command exactly as you tell them,” says the AASL.  Rewards of stars and coins encourage users to keep playing.

The free app is available on iOS and is recommended for grades K-2.  See Kodable in action:
