I will be teaching an "Introduction to Programming" class to some middle school aged children and will be using Python, obviously. Does anyone have suggestions for simple little programs to create and analyze with them after I get past turtle graphics?
Turtle graphics will be plenty for the first session, and I will leave time to ask them what they'd like to do in later sessions, but I was curious if anyone on the list has experience picking pedagogical programming examples appropriate for twelve-year-olds' attention spans. thanks, Bob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
