Mozilla Thimble

I have been using Thimble to teach kids web development for several years via CoderDojo Silicon Valley. Kids just love it...it's simple and doesn't get in the way. I have tried Cloud9, CodePen and other cloud-based IDE's, but always keep coming back to Thimble.

Here's a sample parent+child class on building a holiday greeting card: https://thimbleprojects.org/nik/20062

Here's a canvas drawing sample: https://thimbleprojects.org/nik/102205

The published Thimble project URL used to be hackable to remove the Remix button so kids could have free Github-like hosting, but alas it was removed.

Heads up, your links are broken. They'll only work for you since they take you to the editor - can you use the links from the Publish dialog?

No problem! I had a big hand the design of this current version of Thimble, and if you're willing to share, I'd love to hear about your experiences using it to Teach. Shoot me a message on Twitter @flukeout or you can email me at [email protected] if you're interested. Cheers.
