Python Turtle
infoWhy this? Python Turtle is a good entry into text based programming. It allows students to traverse the gap between block based programming like SCRATCH into text based programming while still incorporating the graphical element.
scheduleWhy now? This unit allows students to think in a more logical manner by connecting the images they program with the code they use to create the image. It is the first step into solving problems algorithmically and leads seamlessly into more standard text based programming code.
