Hi, all! I’m starting this thread for questions about creating your own tutorials for Microsoft MakeCode.
Feel free to start with this document, then let us know when there’s something you want to do that’s not explained here.

> Step by step tutorials are authored in markdown and automatically converted by the editor. This page describes the format for these tutorials.
Happy coding!

My thoughts as a teacher with limited coding experience:
1. I don’t have the time/energy to learn the Java? to create one. Its easier to just keep using google slides and screenshots.
2. If there was an easy place to view user created tutorials, that could be really beneficial to see what other have created.
3. If the tutorial tool was simplified to where I can type instructions and drag/copy a block into the instructions it would be incredibly useful.
4. If it was simplified enough to where my students could create tutorials that would be amazing
Thanks!!! I love using this platform in my classroom and my students go crazy for it

I’d say it’s already easy enough to make simple tutorials on. To make the tutorial, you just have to put words into the markdown file, no JavaScript required!
Just copy the link for the tutorial, and you can send it to whoever you want, and they’ll be able to do the tutorial!

It definitely could be easier, but I’m trying to make some reference docs for teachers so that they can navigate our complex series of steps to make something special for their classrooms.

Great and very welcomed initiative, @KIKIvsIT! How is the work getting along?

I am starting to create tutorials for the Python Labs.
However I dont see the python rendering like the blocks.

Thoughts? What is the process of getting my content reviewed and authorized?

I think I figure it out.
I would appreciate if someone could review and provide feedback on this tutorial.
I will create the Python tutorials so that that new TEALS teachers can learn as well as share with the class to learn the Python content, since I have found very few Python tutorials in MakeCode Arcade.
Thoughts?

@KIKIvsIT - Could you review if my example good for the program?

Are you pulling this example for the TEALS curriculum?

I would be happy to create a slide deck and some resources to help cut through some of the confusion if you think that would help? @KIKIvsIT

We will be redoing a bunch of the materials over the next few months and I’ll take note that you’d like to see more Python tutorials. Right now, the TEALS curriculum isn’t married to any of the official tutorials, but we’ll be working to change that.
@rymc88 If you have slide decks, lesson resources, or tutorials that you’d like to see considered, feel free to share them here and I’ll see what I can do!

Is there a list of the keyboard shortcuts for the Arcade sprite editor?

I think this is the closest thing we’ve got…

Let me know how I can help. I am doing this to help the struggling kids in the class now. Anything I develop now can be leveraged for next semester assuming I am a TEALS volunteer next year.
New teachers to the curriculum would benefit greatly and help those students with focus or learning challenges to follow instructions to learn and reinforce the lessons.
Please also be clear about which computer science concepts are being taught.
Most students understand how to create a sprite but don’t know what a variable is.
The curriculum focuses on creating a game that is great for students who enjoy that (mostly boys) but does not meet girls’ interests (in general). I am finding the girls dropping out because they don’t like shoot-up games.
Food for thought.

Yes. The classroom teacher is not grasping the concepts and the students are struggling.
I want to create the tutorials so that the students falling behind can practice the lessons, more than once if necessary.

@MakeCode @KIKIvsIT is there a way to gain access to the TEALS curriculum without a Github Educator account?

There is…in the case that you have gone through the process and been denied, we have a back-door, but that still requires that you are an educator (of some sort) and have a Github account.

I am going through the Makecode CS Intro Courses and creating slide decks from them with some additional content. This is the slide deck for CS Intro 1 \> Intro \> Sprites.
