[Yr11 Information Technology] various comments...

Hey Adrian, any chance I could have a copy of the disks too? The filters on my system here dont let me download stuff, well, limited stuff anyway. (vb.net wasn't it?) 

Have started with some worksheets on VB6 that antonia(I think) created that I got from this list recently. Am using them with my year 9 class and some of the brighter sparks in y8. That scratch program has just 'taken off!' in my classes at different levels...it is quick to learn and the kids can get scripts up and running quick and easily. It has 'energized' my classes (and that energized me too!). The best bit is..the troublesome boys now are really keen to do it too..no more trouble.
 Finally, something that is not games that the kids are busting to do...LUV IT!

Sludge is CRAP!

Have found various sites on the net with VB6 tutes and learning tools...
I think I am going to really enjoy semester 2 with my 7-10 classes more than the first somehow..

Cheers all

Hi List

Myself and my Tech guy are having trouble downloading visual basic express form Microsoft due to accessing via a proxy server. How have other schools got around this problem or does someone have the full installation file for download rather than the Bootstrapper.

I am out of options if I cant download Visual Basic Express as I am unfamiliar with programming and was planning on using Adrian Janson's tutorials.

Any help with this would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks again list

regards
