Whilst trawling through the web this week looking for computing tools I came across a new on-line tool by Google... It's called 'Google Blockly' (I keep wanting to call it Google Broccoli but have to remind myself it's 'Blockly'!!).

It is a drag and drop programming tool similar to Scratch but this allows users to translate their blocks as JavaScript and other languages. So for example you can create a simple program by dragging and dropping different colour blocks and then click a link to see what the program would look like in JavaScript.

Have a look a Google Blockly here...

Code Avengers is a fantastic javascript teaching tool that Is very similar to Code Academy, But it is only for Javascript.
It Has lots of tutorials, and is an excellent Precursor to Waterbear (see a previous daily pick).
Thanks for reading!
