New Features: What’s New at CodeMonkey
CodeMonkey is a living product, not a fixed textbook — we’re constantly building new tools based on feedback from teachers and students actually using it in the classroom. This category is where we announce and explain every new feature, update, and improvement as it ships: what changed, why we built it, and how to start using it right away.
Recent updates cover things like:
• Classroom & assignment tools — individual assignments, class sharing, and admin dashboards
• Quizzes & assessment — new quiz experiences and progress tracking, including “Time to Completion”
• Creative tools — updates to Game Builder, the Showroom, and student creations
• Accessibility & login — QR code logins, pair programming, and easier access for younger students
• Course content — new courses, seasonal activities, and curriculum updates
If you’re a teacher wondering how these features actually play out in a real classroom, our For Teachers category has practical, lesson-level guidance to go with them.
