Reviewing documentation:
Generally, I found Kahn Academy kind
of hard to navigate at first. I think it is ok to use if you have some very specific
lesson in mind, but otherwise, I didn’t find it to be something that I could
start and stop and sort of study what specifically I wanted to try out. What I did like about Kahn Academy was that
once I found the lesson that I wanted to do, it was very curated. The
instruction was pretty clear and the questions were very visible within the
actual class, unlike some of the other online tutorial sites (like Codecademy
where it is a separate object within the lesson and LearnStreet where I didn’t
really see anything for shared question/answers). What I liked about LearnStreet was that some
of the commentary about what you were doing was within the page of code, so it
was clear as you kept going what specifically you had reacted to, which is
different particularly from Codecademy. I’ve
used Codecademy a lot in the past, so I’m more familiar with it in general. I
do like it, except that sometimes it can be a bit buggy. I do like that the
rendering box is very separate from what code you’re writing, but I have found
that many lessons don’t have too much coaching or narrative depending on the
instructor who set it up.
