A product
of Microsoft FUSE Labs, Kodu is a visual programming
language made especially for
creating games. Kodu’s language is entirely icon-based and is fairly easy to learn. By
getting children to think about “if/then” statements, Kudo helps teach important
programming concepts of actions and conditions. The Kodu
Classroom Kit is a set of lesson
plans and activities for teachers, after-school
program instructors and administrators to run a variety of types of
classes using Kodu. The entire kit can be
downloaded, free of charge, in a zip file or as single
lesson plans.
