At the chalk face: Built by a Teacher, for Teachers: The Story of Go Code It

At the chalk face: Built by a Teacher, for Teachers: The Story of Go Code ItIn this episode of At the Chalkface, we’re joined by Pete Hudson — computer science teacher, Head of Department, and creator of Go Code It — a programming platform built by a teacher, for teachers.After years of frustration with platforms disappearing overnight (and taking hours of hard work with them), Pete decided enough was enough… and built his own.We chat about the challenges of teaching programming at scale, the hidden cost of “free” platforms, and why stability matters just as much as functionality. Pete also talks us through how Go Code It supports teachers day-to-day, from setting and tracking student work to automatic marking and feedback, helping to reduce workload and improve visibility across the class.We also explore how our very own Time2Code fits into the platform, giving teachers and students access to a wide range of programming problems in a more structured and manageable way.If you’re a computing teacher looking for a more dependable approach to teaching programming — or you’ve ever felt the frustration of having the rug pulled from under you — this is definitely one to watch.Find out more about Go Code It: https://gocodeit.onlineFor more from us - https://craigndave.orgDon’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more real talk from the classroom.#ComputerScience #TeachingCoding #EdTech #CraigAndDave #GoCodeIt #AtTheChalkface #CraignDave
