New App

I tried a new coding app called Dynamic ART Lite that is another drag and drop format like Hopscotch.  While it has some more complex mathematical possibilities, the basics are very user-friendly and a little simpler than Hopscotch - which would be good when teaching 1st graders!  You control the movements of a little turtle and can make it move, turn, draw lines, etc.  It has the usual repeat and if, then functions and will also put a text message onscreen.     You can switch easily between the programming screen and the run screen to see if it's doing what you intended.  Very nice app for beginning coding!
