Is Emotion Emoji Coder a good fit for young learners through Grade 2?
Emotion Emoji Coder is a good fit for students in early years to grade 2 who are interested in facial expressions and buttons that make sounds. CIT offers online or in-person lessons in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul, in one-to-one or small-group formats. Students make an emotion sound app, four hand-drawn expression buttons, and recordings of English feeling words.
Children place one button on a screen and make it play a sound or change a picture, then match each press to what happens. They draw happy, angry, surprised, and sad faces, talk about how the eyes and mouth differ, and choose an English feeling word such as Delighted or Frustrated for each face before recording it in their own voice. The finished sound app says each word when its button is pressed, with buttons sized to fit small fingers. This builds the foundation a college application later rests on: the student asks a question, makes something, revises it, and explains that process in their own words. At this age the habit comes before the artifact.

As soon as my child got home, they showed me the game they had made. They said it was so much fun.

Useful evidence may include a portfolio artifact, design rationale, audience test, iteration record, and a clear account of the student's role.
The evidence an application reads is what the student understood, completed, and can explain.
