with an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, allowing readers
to experiment with new coding concepts
and apply their understanding across over
40 hours of activities. The new coding guide
also comes with a companion for teachers
to download and use, with no registration
required, offering the solutions, strategies,
and accessibility resources, perfect for
the classroom or even for home learning
environments, allowing parents to ‘mark’ their
children’s coding projects.
Hot off the heels of new accessibility features
introduced with macOS Catalina, Apple has
also optimized the curriculum for VoiceOver,
with closed-captioned videos, and videos
in American Sign Language, making the
program more accessible than ever before.
That’s on top of integrating Everyone Can
Create project guides into the curriculum.
These books launched last year on Apple
Books, allowing teachers to integrate
things like drawing, music, filmmaking, and
photography into their classroom, using
Apple’s technology.
“The Everyone Can Code curriculum builds
on existing interactive puzzles, guides, and
activities to make learning to code even more
approachable and connected to students’
everyday lives,” an Apple spokesperson said
of the project. “Everyone Can Code Puzzles is
an all-new student guide to Swift Playgrounds
where each chapter helps students build on
what they already know, experiment with new
coding concepts and creatively communicate
how coding impacts their lives,” the firm
added, before promising more enhancements
were on their way.
