That\u2019s because important conversations happen both in the digital space and in face-to-face environments like classrooms. Kids need to know how to effectively articulate their ideas and questions textually, visually, and verbally. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are many resources that can help kids learn to communicate in either digital or face-to-face spaces, it\u2019s a challenge to find tools that enable kids to express themselves in both spaces, sometimes even simultaneously. Fortunately, Tynker is such a tool. As a storytelling medium, a platform for presenting ideas, and a space where kids can communicate with other Tynker users, Tynker helps kids develop the communication skills they need for the 21st century!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tell_Stories\"><\/span><b>Tell Stories<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tynker is a great <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/blog\/programming-storytelling\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">storytelling medium<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Kids can draw on experiences they have in real life, such as reading books, for inspiration for their projects! They can also complete the steps found in the story-writing process, such as developing characters, crafting dialogue, and creating a compelling plot. For example, Featured Maker <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/blog\/vivian-gets-inspiration-for-projects-from-her-favorite-books\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vivian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> told us that her favorite project is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one called \u201cWarriors Quiz\u201d and that it\u2019s \u201cbased on some of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warrior Cats<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> novels written by Erin Hunter that I have been reading this year.\u201d And <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/blog\/for-kareyn-coding-is-a-storytelling-outlet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Featured Maker Kareyn<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> told us that she uses Tynker as a storytelling outlet; \u00a0her favorite part about Tynker is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cprobably the ways that you can make your own characters.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kids practice creative storytelling with Tynker, both as they make original projects and while completing coding challenges in our courses.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/elementary-school\/coding-curriculum\/programming-201\/5-storytelling?\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Programming 201<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> features a Do-It-Yourself module where students create dialogue for a comic book page! Whether kids want to create original projects or use the more structured model within our courses, Tynker is a great space for them to practice telling stories.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Present_Ideas\"><\/span><b>Present Ideas<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As anyone knows who has given a presentation in front of a group, it\u2019s a good idea to have visuals and text in front of you to cue you on what to say next. Visuals also help keep your audience engaged. This is why many people use tools like slides to showcase information and graphics as they give a presentation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tynker is a fantastic alternative to traditional slides! \u00a0Kids can go above and beyond just adding text and graphics to pre-designed slides. They can practice coding skills as they put animations and special effects in their presentation. Students can also narrate their presentations using their own voice, further personalizing their work. Programming and communication go hand-in-hand as kids work with code, text, and graphics to create the best presentation possible. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sky\u2019s the limit! Kids can use Tynker to communicate about any subject, from social studies to science. Check out presentations like this one about Mahatma Ghandi or how other students coded \u00a0interactive virtual models of the solar system! <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"410\" height=\"300\" src=\"\/ide\/embedded?p=5707fdccaf923127318b4577&#038;controls=yes&#038;autostart=no\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/programming-for-kids\/explore\/history\/historical-people-1fc4.html#\/close-modal\"><i>See more student projects<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14568 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190103125400\/SafarScience.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"387\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190103125400\/SafarScience.jpg 918w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190103125400\/SafarScience-150x142.jpg 150w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190103125400\/SafarScience-300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20190103125400\/SafarScience-768x726.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u00a0 Via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SafarScience\/status\/1071122196469350403\">Twitter<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Communicate_with_Peers\"><\/span><b>Communicate with Peers<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tynker community is designed to foster communication among kids. They make projects for their followers, remix and learn from others\u2019 projects, and create original projects to share with the community. For example, when we asked <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/blog\/isaac\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Featured Maker Isaac<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where he gets his coding inspiration, he talked about the Tynker community: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other projects inspire me a lot. I look at the really good ones and think, \u2018How can I make something kind of like this, but a little bit better?\u2019\u201d Kids even extend the Tynker community beyond the screen as they talk with other friends about their projects: \u201cI\u2019ve been teaching [my friend] [Tynker] \u00a0because he\u2019s been researching my projects and looking at the code\u201d (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/blog\/oskar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Featured Maker Oskar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When kids make projects in Tynker, they can communicate with other Tynker users in a variety of ways. For example, they may choose to create interactive animations that respond to some input the user enters. In Featured Maker <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tynker.com\/blog\/abby-uses-coding-to-bring-her-art-to-life\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abby<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s project, Yuri asks questions, which the user responds to.

When writing these instructions, kids have to think about word choices that will best communicate what players need to do. For example, one member of the Tynker community made this game, \u201cHangman,\u201d and provided instructions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"410\" height=\"300\" src=\"\/ide\/embedded?p=573fcaba1ae7a990168b4569&#038;controls=yes&#038;autostart=no\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHangman\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tynker helps kids practice communication skills as they share stories, present information, and communicate with their peers through projects.
