<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi all,</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hope the break has been kind! </span>
<span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I’m back teaching a combined 11/12 IT in Action /Application class this year, how I love combined classes…not.
</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Nonetheless I thought for the programming component of Unit 2 I’d get the students using Code Academy, (I’ve played with it a bit and found it a good introduction) because I have such a huge ability range in
the class direct instruction is basically a waste of time as someone’s needs will always be missed by a country mile and with two subjects at once time is non-existent. So self-paced, giving me the ability to roam and help you’d think would be a good solution.
</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Alas I have found Code Academy’s shell to be incredibly unreliable and it seems to hang constantly (through VicOne anyway) – anyone else had this issue??</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So to get around the problem I have compiled a set of exercises and resources for PHP, Ruby, JavaScript and Python that don’t require any installation of anything (apart from I suggest Chrome not IE) and give
the opportunity for self-paced work. We are using Blogger as our online record as the college has a Google domain setup so it makes it very easy all round. So if you are struggling with programming work with students and torturing the techs into installing
software for you this list below is for you. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
