I fully understand you can view, but "running" code is the entire point of an after-school computer programming class. As these are after school classes (but done in collaboration with the school), some resources the school has aren't available.

Also, how many middle school and high schools (especially title 1 schools) do you know have office365 for the teachers, let alone for each and every student?

Please don't regard this reply as being critical of the offering, it's certainly not and I applaud what you're doing, I'm more responding to the person who couldn't understand why login was a barrier.

[msft] Fair points jsjohnst. I don't have a good solution for you. Perhaps the teacher can setup one Microsoft account (eg school.outlook.com) and multiple ppl can use it? (but that comes w issues too sadly).

Perhaps www.code.org is a better offering?
