[Edu-sig] Looking for a course syllabus exemplars for a high school year-long course in Python/Javascript

[roberto]

Hi Clint,
I was in your very situation in the past, and these are resources I
consider good:
-
http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Digital-Age-Programming-Python/dp/0972705589
- http://inventwithpython.com/
- https://www.udacity.com/course/cs101


According to the level of your students, and yours as well, you might be
more comfortable with one or more of the above mentioned.
I regularly run robotics after-school courses but I've never found
extremely helpful Python on NXT, for a number of technical glitches on it.
I prefer to focus on the learning way more than on the technical aspects of
the business.

Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
Roberto.
