[Yr11 Information Technology] RE: VB6-cry for help-intro worksheets and exs needed

[Bremner, Kerri L]

Hi Kent (and all others). This is the first time for me too. I am using a bo=
ok called "Visual Basic for Education" by Adrian Janson. (it's subtitle - a=
 step by step approach to Visual basic specially tailored for the classroom)=
. It breaks down the programming into easy chunks and has a great introducto=
ry piece on the tools of VB. My students were challenged by turning the comp=
uter on...and are finding it ok.

Thanks Adrian -- this sounds very promising, and I look forward to
further cooperation on our shared goals in IT training (and in
tackling Kevork's interesting questions).

P.S. Yes my son loves the year 10 game design elective he's doing with you!
