Lets first start with understanding what is block coding?

Block coding is the most basic form of programming and one of the great way for the kids to get started with coding. Rather than having to write those complex lines of computer codes. With block coding, kids can use visual instruction blocks to create games or moving animations. It uses a drag and drop interface.

why is block coding important?

block coding is an basic entry level programming activity that allows your child to develop an understanding of how does coding works. It will help your child to get used to computational thinking that is needed in programming. what’s more their are skills that children can learn better through coding such as following :-

  • Mathematic skills
  • Writing
  • Communication skills
  • Low barrier to entry
  • Simple to start but complex enough to be challenged
  • Fun, creative and problem solving

what are benefits and drawbacks of block coding?

Block coding provides many advantages as well as some disadvantages. The following are the list of them:

Advantages-

  1. Fun Way Of Learning- it is the visual and interactive method of learning.
  2. Easy To Understand- the drag and drop method is so basic and clear that it does not need thorough coding knowledge. It will lower the stress of learning syntax and allows the beginners to focus on mastering the more important parts.
  3. Helps In Growing Logical Reasoning- it is one of the most notable benefits of block coding as it aids in the development of the child’s logical reasoning and helps in solving complicated difficulties.

Disadvantages-

  1. Syntax Free- block coding being syntax free removes the need to memorize and learn basic syntax instructions, which can be difficult when transitioning to text based coding.
  2. Problems In Error Assessment- in case of errors block codes, due to their lack of syntax, do not need the analysis of syntactic issues. As a result, we cannot track the portion of the error, requiring the full block to be rechecked in the event of an error.
