I am a person who always hated coding. I am not sure why but the first time when I saw code in my life, I always tried to avoid everything associated with coding. Here we are learning and doing the coding. I can’t believe that I did the coding myself. As learned in the EDTC300 lecture, First I tried to use scratch. I signed up and tried to explore scratch with hope, hope that lasted for 10 minutes as it was confusing for me and I gave up on scratch. Then I tried to explore option 2  Hour of Code. It took me to its first page, and I saw Mario Game. I used to play this game a lot when I was a child. So, I chose to play Mario’s Secret Adventure: Build Your Own 3D Mario Game.

I was just exploring options and started to follow the instructions provided to beginners. I chose my alignments to move forward, move left and jump, etc. when I started playing this game, I forgot that it was my learning project, and I am doing coding as I was so busy having fun. I started liking this language of coding. Here I have attached screenshots of my experience with this website.

Also, the certificate of completion?

Now I believe that if I spend some more time with this website, I would definitely learn some more things about coding. And as a future teacher, I support this language and would try to incorporate it in my classroom. Sometimes it is fun to explore new technologies with students.
