[Yr11 Information Technology] Visual Basic workbooks

[Roland Gesthuizen]

No disrespect intended and I know that a can of worms may open when I say
this but have you considered moving to teaching Python? It is free and
there are more teaching resources than you can poke a stick at. This year I
am really proud of the coding that my girls did this year with the Grok
Learning Challenge and my year 10 group is exploring how to trigger events
inside Minecraft with Python :-)

There is a place for old programming languages, check out this NASA post. I
have been away from Fortran far too long .. (sigh)
