My Take
I have used it in the past for the Hour of Code, but with recent training I will be using it more and have the students set up their own accounts. For Hour of Code, my students love it and enjoy seeing how video games are put together with directions from a person.
How I Use It
I use this website to introduce students to coding! The students love it and it has friendly characters they love working with. It starts easy and gets harder to challenge students.

Teaches the students the basics like running the code, compiling, and using cartoon avatars(Sprites) to keep students engaged and keep them progressing in their skills. Eventually this website and spark their interest in computer science, and allow them to express this as a future career pathway which can be a very encouraging sign in today's society.

This is a great website for anyone to learn about coding.
I believe this is a great tool for children that are interested in learning Computer Science.

I believe they need more hints for some of the exercises because I remembered I was doing the advanced questions and I got stuck on them. My teacher doesn't know how to solve it so it was a really frustrating experience to figure it out.
