I've taught online to newbies four times using my Hands-on Tutorial, http://anh.cs.luc.edu/python/hands-on/3.1/ videos that are linked to it, and screen sharing for individual help. My setup has always been Idle, and a significant fraction of my students have Macs. None of my students were 12 years old - mostly 18. a number of my students have worked remotely from each other in pairs, with screen sharing and audio.
