What is Class Connect

TURNKEY ACTIVITIES

Pick from dozens of kid-facing, step-by-step activities

Standards-aligned, learn-to-code puzzles and math activities are presented inside of the Blockly app so that students can jump right into coding and learning. Exciting stories immerse students in challenges that require subject-matter understanding, creativity, and critical thinking skills. Choose from 60 low-prep, at-your-fingertips math activities for a year’s worth of fun and learning.

PROGRESS TRACKING

View and track student work

The progress dashboards in Class Connect provide a window into exactly what code each student writes as they work through the puzzles and math activities inside of the Blockly App. Answer keys show suggested solutions and recommended lessons for students who need additional reinforcement. View time spent as well as how many attempts the student made.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

Create and manage student profiles

Class Connect enables teachers to create student profiles so that they can share devices while maintaining their own progress. Profile names and access codes are anonymized to comply with COPPA regulations, while still giving students their own destination inside of the app. Share classrooms with other teachers to collaborate further.

VIRTUAL DASH ROBOT

1:1 robot access, anytime, anywhere

Your Class Connect subscription unlocks Virtual Dash, which includes a virtual Dash robot that is programmable inside of a rich, 3D environment. Now bringing code to life in a 1:1 environment is possible without needing a physical robot for each student. Virtual Dash is available in Blockly on iOS and on the web in Chrome.

STANDARDS-ALIGNED CONTENT

New content added all the time

Class Connect’s coding challenges and math activities are just the beginning! We’re on a mission to provide teachers with high-quality, low-prep content that will engage students across the entire curriculum in fun and innovative ways. A current Class Connect subscription will grant you full access to all content inside!

BUILT-IN SUPPORT

Tons of wraparound resources

Each activity includes step-by-step instructions, suggested solutions, topic walk-throughs, and recommended practice, making the teaching of coding and robotics accessible to every teacher, regardless of coding experience. Lessons are available for download and include additional, curated resources, like videos and follow-up discussion questions.

 
 

STUDENT SUCCESS

“Wonder Workshop Class Connect is a great addition to our technology curriculum. It allows the teachers to see exactly where students are in their progress with coding and students are able to work at their own pace which allows for differentiation. The students love Dash and Dot and I love how easy it is to document their learning!”

AUTHENTIC PRACTICE

“As math coach, I am always looking for activities that will engage my students and yet give them authentic math practice on their grade level standards. The robots are extremely engaging, and make the students want to do the problems so that they can move the robot.”

DETAILED LESSON PLANS

“The teacher lesson plans were VERY thorough. I loved the videos included for the students along with the multitude of options for the teacher. It makes it very easy to fit your time constraints, student levels and needs, enrich your higher students and generally meet all the needs of every child.”
