Crunchzilla is a fun way for all students to learn how to painlessly write JavaScript programs. It offers three different interactive tutorials where kids and adults can play with code, experiment, build, and learn. Code Monster is for younger children, ages 9-14, and for curious adults. Code Monster is the easiest tutorial. Code Maven is for ages 13 and up and is harder than Code Monster with more difficult problems, more depth, and more explanation. Game Maven is for adults and older teens who have some programming experience. Game Maven is a step-by-step tutorial for writing three different video games.

Mockingbird is an online tool that makes it easy for you to create, link together, preview, and share mockups of your website or application. The website is free, but registration is required. This is a good resource for students to use in planning their sites or apps.

"Pyro stands for Python Robotics. The goal of the project is to provide a programming environment for easily exploring advanced topics in artificial intelligence and robotics without having to worry about the low-level details of the underlying hardware. That is not to say that Pyro is just a toy. In fact, Pyro is used for real robotics research as well as courseware."

MathsNet is an independent educational website providing free mathematics resources to the education community. Its aim is to offer truly interactive resources that are both wide and deep in terms of their applicability and usefulness. MathsNet is not an online textbook. It is interactive, requiring the user to participate rather than be a passive observer.

BoomWriter is a supremely engaging creative writing website that has students reading, writing and assessing content in ways they've never done before! The teacher selects or produces his or her own story start, and the students let their imagination and writing skills take over. One chapter at a time, the students write, read, and then vote on the submissions they like the most. The winning chapter is then added to the story and the process continues. The teacher determines the total number of chapters to be completed, and when the competition is over a new book is ready to be published.

Free! THINKING WORLDS is a drag-and-drop 3D scene builder and visual programming editor that allows non-coders to build immersive gaming experiences and simulations. It appears more suited for creating virtual training exercises in large organizations, but with a free developer license it should provide a sufficient challenge for the ultra-techie educator. Beware. This is more of a summer project than weekend quick pick -- just imagine the learning curve if there were Scratch controls for every movement in Sim City. But if you're up to the task, there's still time to join this recently started MOOC on gameification. After all, a tool is only as good as the outcomes it makes possible.

"Tynker is a new computing platform designed specifically to teach children computational learning and programming skills in a fun and imaginative way. Tynker is inspired by Scratch from MIT. It is a completely browser-based implementation written using Open Web standards such as Javascript, HTML5, CSS3 and does not use Flash."

"Robotics is a great way to get kids excited about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) topics. It is also highly effective in developing team-work and self-confidence. This web site is designed to help K-12 and other educators in developing or improving courses that use robotics as a tool for teaching STEM topics or as a topic in itself. The materials on this site include down-loadable lesson plans and links to other useful resources, such as teacher training workshops, public robotic contests, and other educational robotics web sites."

"Useful robot algorithms in both pseudocode and source code. Because programming is a very huge subject and there are billions of books and tutorials on how to program already written, all I plan to cover is specifically what is important to programming robots not mentioned in common literature."

"STEM Robotics 101 is both a turn-key curriculum for novice Robotics teachers and a collaboration tool for veteran Robotics teachers. This introductory STEM Robotics master curriculum uses the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Education Base Set and NXT-G software to teach a full STEM Robotics course. This master curriculum is divided into Units, several of which contain lessons built around the "NXT Video Trainer 2.0" product from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Academy. (This product is now available free online from CMU's CS2N Courses site). These self-paced learning-to-program videos are supplemented with lessons on robotics technologies, explicit math and science concepts, and the Engineering Process, in order to round out a complete STEM curriculum."

Google SketchUp is an easy-to-use program that lets you and your students create, modify and share 3D models. From history to calculus, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to see your ideas in 3D. And when you're done, you can export an image, make a movie or print out a view of what you made.

This is a fun arcade-style keyboarding game. You type words as they appear, which causes rockets to fire at approaching aliens. The vocabulary is pretty high, so this is best used with secondary students.

"EON Creator is an interactive authoring tool that allows users to create stereoscopic 3D scenes.
