[Yr11 Information Technology] Coding help PLEASE!

[Poke, Michael C]

Hi all,
New to this list.  Wondering what software people are using to teach programming in Unit 2.  Are you still using VB.net? I have Apple Macs but have Windows running with bootcamp as well. What language are people doing? Ideally I’d like to teach Python (because it’s easy) but in a simple drag and drop UI environment like VB.

My students are learning Python via codecademy.com for now until I work out what I’m doing, but time is running out.


Any advice would be great.

PS. Coding is NOT my forte.


Cheers,
Michael
