Okay, I am hooked and I am in love.
Went to CS4HS this summer. First, I will say, I am not a good traveler, and I don’t like sitting still. Thus I don’t do workshops well.
But I am in love with Raptor. See http://raptor.martincarlisle.com/
I put it on my computers, took a few seconds. I printed out the first handout and gave it to the kids yesterday.
Today I had them write “Hello World”. Boring… but necessary in my opinion.
Then I had them write a program that got two numbers from the user and out put the sum. I’ll come back after 4th and let you know how it went, but …
I have six kids in 1st period PreAP. 2 “got it”. 2 still think the rest of us have another head. 2 understand why the first two got it, but think that they are weird.
Frankly, I’ve never had kids engaged in programming this fast.
IT’S COOL!
