How to get kids to learn rather than simply copy...
Hi! This is Josiah's mom. I wanted to let you all know that I've noticed that when Josiah made the programs that we got from the free pamphlet, that there were prompts on the screen guiding him in how to change the code to make it his own. In the Bitsbox we received, those prompts are in the magazine. However, Josiah isn't as interested in reading all the magazine prompts, and he instinctively moves on to making his next app rather than playing with each app as he makes it (hope this is making sense). If there were screen-prompts, he might be more tempted to play with the code enough to really learn how the commands function. Just a thought... Blessings, Stephanie
