Hi Jan -- Sometimes one just needs a lot of substantive lesson plans, versus a lot of theory justifying why such lesson plans might be a good idea. If you get to that point, I have a large stash here: http://www.4dsolutions.net/ocn/cp4e.html Also showmedo.com is a good site. Also you're right: the archive here is bristling with links, going back seven years or more (many still as relevant as ever). I bet other posters with chime in with some favorites (?). So far, we teach Python to a few lucky middle and high schoolers in Portland Public Schools, as well as in our elite private academy (an NGO set up by Silicon Forest execs, specifically to nurture geekdom -- saturdayacademy.org). For example, here're some leftover web pages from my work at Winterhaven, one of our flagship publics: http://www.4dsolutions.net/ocn/winterhaven/ Plus I'm starting a new gig with LEP High, our newest public charter. http://www.koreducators.org/ > I know there are tons of good links in the archives of this list, but > I am so busy that I fear I could not evaluate them.

Portland considers itself an open source capital with a reputation to protect: http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/1128/p03s02-ussc.html One of my own students / advisees, whom I started working with in 8th grade, was at the Portland Python User Group last night, now a high schooler, signifying the torch is already well on the way to being passed: http://worldgame.blogspot.com/2007/10/ppug-cubespace.html Kirby _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
