Teach lots of little pie...Yup, sounds like a plan. Teach lots of little pieces and hope the kids can assemble the pieces into a bigger picture. I like to have the kids do simple projects that target a programming concept. After doing the simple programs I give them a bigger project that uses all the parts of the simple project. Sometimes it even works. My problem is I get wrapped up into the project myself and lose the fact the kids may not be as fascinated as I am with the whole thing. In my one class of eight students I have two that actually enjoy programming, the rest are just in survival mode. Small school, not many electives and they had to be somewhere. Still it works out. They get a taste of programming so they know what it is all about.Garthnoreply@blogger.com
