I've been working with my 8th grade students to get started with Coding through Code.org. They have been very successful! Code.org provides some direct-instruction lessons but most of the lessons are computer-based and students work at their own pace. They learn from short tutorials but also from their peers as they work through more difficult situations.
Those who finish early go in to Khan Academy and are working JS Programming. They are also doing well with that. I can't wait to see where they'll go next!
