About Code Editors for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python

Summary

Zenva Schools provides easy access to blank Trinket and JSBin code snippets, which can be used as in-browser code editors for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python-based projects. Through this, we aim to address challenges related to software installations. This feature empowers educators to seamlessly integrate coding activities into their teaching and provide students a place to practice coding in a controlled and accessible environment.




Limitations

Please note the following limitations with these tools.

Language Support

Our coding tools support HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Python Turtle, and Pygame. Please be aware that these tools are tailored to these specific languages and libraries due to inherent limitations with in-browser solutions. At this time, they cannot be utilized with other programming languages or libraries.

Non-Saveable Environment

Code snippets offered with these in-browser solutions do not facilitate the saving of work. However, students have the option to copy and paste their code into a local code environment in order to save it for later reference.
​

How to Access the Coding Tools

To access these tools, both teachers and students can go to Courses > Student Tools from the main navigation bar. From there, you will see a dropdown list of the available tool options.



Domain Whitelisting for Seamless Functionality

To ensure the smooth functionality of these coding tools, teachers may need to whitelist specific domains related to them. For more detailed instructions on what domains need to be whitelisted, please refer to the following article: What domains does my school need to allow?
