Scratch+CodeAcademy

          So today in computer science class, we discovered two new website that we will be using as a project for the summer. The first being scratch.mit.edu and the second being codeacademy.com. Honestly for me, both of these websites are a dream to me, and anyone who dreams to animate, make simple games, videos, and programming.

          Scratch is a website created by Massachusetts institute of technology. This website creates the basis of ways to animate videos by themselves using what they provide, without the hassle of crashing your brain using trigonometry or calculus. It is really a great way to open up kids to new things because many schools don't offer things like it. Plus it's free online. 

          CodeAcademy which is my favorite is a website that teaches you how to program in a few languages. Not like actual languages, but things like java and more. What school systems need to do is implement coding classes into regular high schools and middle schools, because technology is advancing everyday, and we need people to help run and create more these advances. I have been using this website (codeacademy.com) for a few days already and I learned things as like making my computer relay a certain message when the right command is shown, to simple addition and subtraction that the computer can solve. If you want to doing anything with coding in the future, this website is for you.
