Teaching Programming to Learners

[Guest monkeyx]

I have recently developed a VM that makes it easier for schools to download and use an excellent set of teaching materials based on poplog/pop11. The materials are made available by a professor from Birmingham University and he is hoping to encourage schools to promote Computing as an academic discipline, rather than as a way of learning to use applications.

 

There is a link to an excellent presentation he recently gave from the Computing at Schools group on June 08th 2011 here - Computing at School :: Teachshares.

 

The VM and related notes can also be found here :-

If anyone has any questions on using the VM then please let me know. If you are interested in promoting the use of these materials in your school then please contact the professor as well.

 

Thanks,
