You're planning to use the book "Python for Kids", right? http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781593274078.do If using that book is a requirement, then I have to take back what I said about web environments being appropriate for this particular situation. That book requires a computer running either Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. It will have some exercises that assume that it can have graphical control over the desktop with the "Tk" graphics library, a capability that you will not likely have in a web-based environment. Apologies for not reading the requirements more closely. I saw "learning Python for kids", and did not think that you were referring to a specific book! :P
