Scratch: a free programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations.
Code.org: Launched in 2013, Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to expanding access to computer science, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color. Our vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. We believe computer science should be part of core curriculum, alongside other courses such as biology, chemistry or algebra.
Directions will take you, as a teacher, through setting up your own Code.org dashboard and classrooms. The dashboard allows you to track each student's progress. It is a really good idea to work through the courses ahead of your students.
You can go to the popular Hour of Code, but there is oh, so much more for teachers and students. Many "unplugged" ways to teach coding, as well!
