Give your kids the skills they need by teaching them to code at an early age. Simply Coding Javascript Learning Program is a great way to get them started. There are no required prerequisites necessary, just a computer with an Internet connection and your child can be off and running!

Stand Out Features of Simply Coding Javascript Learning Program

1. It’s an online program.

The fact that the program is online means you can access it from anywhere, on any computer that has Internet access. I can’t begin to tell you how convenient it is to not have my son tied to just one computer for this learning program! It means he can do it when we are out at the library, or on a laptop, or if one room is too noisy, I can move him to another without an issue.

2. Provides an 8 Gig USB Flash Drive

Given that the program is online and thus you can use it on any computer with Internet access, it is great that they provide a Flash Drive for your child to save their work on. This makes it easily portable because you are not storing your work on any one computer, but instead on the the Flash Drive which you can easily take with you.

3. Works on both PC and MAC computers.

4. Create 3 Working Games

This is not just about lecturing and learning rote steps. With Simply Coding Javascript Learning Program your kids will learn how to code 3 different games which when those skills a combined together are the building blocks for them to build their own games.

5. Short Simple Lessons

Each lesson is not overwhelmingly long. This is a bonus because it can be difficult for kids to absorb so much at one time, especially with something that is possibly very new and more complex. Each Lesson contains text to read, a video review, and an activity to complete. I love that you can get the information both by reading it as well as by watching the video as not everyone has the same learning style.

6. Live Chat Assistance

One very unique characteristic of this Simply Coding Javascript Learning Program is that you have Live Chat Assistance available to you. This service is available from 8am – 6pm MST. Along with this there is also a community forum where you can get on and ask questions.

How Simply Coding Javascript Learning Program Works

Upon purchasing Simply Coding Javascript Learning Program you will receive a package in the the mail that contains the 8 Gig USB Flash Drive as well as an Access Code to use at the Simply Coding website.

Simply take the code to the site and create an account.

Then you have access to over 30 hours of content in the form of step by step lessons that are done at your own pace. This means if my child wants to do multiple lessons at a time, he can! It also means that if they are struggling or don’t have as much time, they can easily complete one lesson and move on for the day.

At the completion of each group of lessons, for instance 1.1-1.9, there is a quiz to test their knowledge of what has been covered in that lesson. These quizzes are a great self-check for your kids to check their understanding of the material. While they can take the quizzes as many times as they want, they will need to get 100% to move on to the next section of lessons.

I highly recommend Simply Coding Javascript Learning Program for your budding coders. The program is clean and organized, simple to follow, and fun to do. My son was happy that it included a download containing all of the workspace files, music and images you need as well as a text editor to create your code files. He and his sister sat together, changing the bouncing object in Pong from the image files and playing around with the speed and size forever!

No-Nonsense Algebra can help both parent and student more easily navigate Algebra. {Disclosure: I received a copy of No-Nonsense Algebra for review and was compensated for my time in writing this review. My opinions are my own and I was not required to write a positive review. Your experience may vary.}

How We Use No-Nonsense Algebra

I would like to tell you about my experience with No-Nonsense Algebra from two perspectives.

First up is my high school aged daughter. She is a video based learner and has struggled along the way in math. We were recently faced with the need for her to take a college placement exam in math in order for her to enroll in a science class. She needed to place through basic Algebra. Using No-Nonsense Algebra as a quick refresher for her was super easy!

Now for my middle school aged son. He is a no fluff, get to the point, I want to skip it if I know it kind of kid. He excels in math. No-Nonsense Algebra is a great fit for him too. The lessons aren’t too long so he can finish them in a reasonable amount of time. He doesn’t have the attention span for anything too long or daunting.

Easy to Use Features of No-Nonsense Algebra

Lesson Break Down – In the Table of Contents (you can view the full Table of Contents here) the lessons are broken down into bite sized pieces, making them short and to the point.

Focused Lessons – Each lesson is focused on one thing, offering a quick introduction, some helpful hints, examples, and the exercises for that specific lesson and a quick review. In many cases this happens in just one page. This to the point style is perfect for my son who wants to get in and get out.

Online Videos – Each lesson has a corresponding instructional video. This is great for a video learner like my teen. She can watch the video related to a specific topic she is struggling with, get instruction and work out samples and then head back to the book to try some on her own.

Built In Review – While each lesson is short and to the point, built in review is offered along the way to help your student maintain the skills they have learned along the way. Thus allowing for better retention and flow.

Quick Reference Section – The back of the book features a Glossary of Terms as well as tables with things like important formulas, symbols and more. We have found the list of important formulas to be invaluable as a quick reference.

Readily Available Answers – For me, the teacher, I like having the answers readily available at the back of the book. They are right there so I don’t have to go grab another book, or pull up something online.

Affordable – I couldn’t write this without telling you how incredibly affordable No-Nonsense Algebra is! We have used many math programs and I was so pleased to see how affordably priced this is. At just $23.95 you get not only the book, but access to the online instruction videos too! Plus it is set up so that you can use it with more than one student in your home.

So whether you are looking to give your child a solid start in Algebra, or you have a student who needs to brush up on their Algebra skills, Non-Nonsense Algebra fits the bill.
