    DA14 Examines the role of Interactive Entertainment in Australian Households. This research makes clear just home much games and other forms of ICT are utilised in the homes of students and helps to explain why students I teach at 4 years of age can navigate the internet!

    Best Serious Game I have come across in all my years in Games Based Learning Research. Outstanding pre-algebra game developed by MIT and Fablevision. Incredibly it's free. I can't recommend this highly enough for students in years 5-8 (Australia).

    Fabulous online robotics challenge - I use it in my school with grades 3-6 (Australia) as we do not have robotics.

    A very good resource indeed! Completes greatly the first lesson of K-5 Course 1 of code.org, I think.

    A simple online tool for creating book covers. My grade Prep and 1 (Australia) students use this with few difficulties. The Book Cover Creator is designed to allow users to type and illustrate front book covers, front and back covers, and full dust jackets. Students can use the tool to create new covers for books that they read as well as to create covers for books they write individually or as a class.

    An oldie, but a goodie! Scratch is a free tool designed to support the development of coding skills. Available in 40+ languages and aimed at students aged 8 and up. Students can program their own interactive stories, games, and animations - and share their creations with others in the online community.

    My y1s are really enjoying Scratchjr, great for younger children, and as it's a free app it's good for the school budget too.

    My 5 year old daughter loves Scratch Jr. She had a tutorial from us initially, but was able to use the software independently very quickly, to her own delight.

    I as a teacher love scratch. And of course for the students too, scratch is fun way of learning.

    I am began teaching coding this semester in my computer lab. I haven't played with scratch too much but look forward to using with my kids next week.

    I have used the computer version of Scratch with students in grades 3-6 (in Australia). My colleagues were amazed when students produced maze games where if the player bumped into the maze walls they were returned to the start - little did they know how easy it was once we got the hang of the coding. Great stuff.

    Actually there is also a new curriculum for Scratch with worksheets: http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/guide/download.html It has also been translated into several languages. This is a very helpful tool if you want to start introducing programming to a class. I have been using it now twice, and I am happy with the outcome. In particular the worksheets are so helpful and give you more time to support the individual child.

    I have use code.org as an introduction before using scratch. It allows the children participate it in games involving angry birds, plants vs zombies, flappy birds and the disney frozen characters.
