Hi,
I was reading what Mark is writing about using Jython for a CS1 in
multimedia and
this can interest some of you. http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/mediaComp-plan
I'm still skeptical and a bit sad (I should add because I do not see some
real arguments.
I do not really believe that break help understanding loops even if it
seems proved).
I'm curious to know if there are more political issues like the students
want "something that they read in the journals" like.
Mark what were the problems you encounter when teaching Squeak? I would
really like to know your experience.
