A Short Teacher’s Guide to Programming Languages

Choosing a programming language to teach your students can be tricky; after all, to an unpracticed eye many of them look exactly the same! However, different languages are used in different situations, to create different kinds of programs, or even for different hardware depending on the situation. This means that there isn't any one answer to the question of what programming language to teach, but that there's a lot of information about each language to consider. Here's a list of some languages you might have heard of recently, along with some notes to help you decide.

Technology for the Tired Teacher

We also know that the midwinter break can be a valuable time for exhausted teachers to 'reset', in a matter of speaking.

Grading quizzes, calculating gradebooks, filing paperwork and making parent calls—these and more are all necessary tasks, but can take up a lot of time and effort an educator may not have the reserves to maintain. However, using the right tech can help make these jobs more efficient!...

Concepts for the Modern Robotics Classroom

Robotics programs are becoming more and more popular in public schools across the US. Hundreds of schools are currently reporting that they are running either a class or an after-school program focusing on robots. However, upon further research, we found a minor issue with many of their programs; they’re incomplete. In this article, we've highlighted three concepts that any long-term robotics curriculum should at least touch on. Each topic provides a slightly different approach to robots, but all three build on critical thinking skills necessary to engage with robots (and with computers in general).
