"I had done similar activities before COVID, but this bundle just made life easier for me. I used it as a 'do now' as students logged in. I had students 'spell' their name in each code type - so there was prior knowledge to pull from. Engagement and collaboration happened organically. "

I teach middle school Tech and these are my go-to assignments for when I have a sub! Like with any puzzle, you have some kids that love to do them and some that don't care for them - either way it keeps them busy and gives them practice - great resource.
