Tools to use for CompSci
Here I summarise my findings and decisions for the best software to be using for CompSci GCSE:
- I set all my students the first 28 exercises of Codecademy’s Python course. I used the excellent classroom tracking tool to see the progress made during the holidays and made a few timely phone calls to ensure as many as possible were up to date by our first lesson of the term.
- Python, Pygame and TkInter. How to install here.
- Google Docs (and developing Google Classroom).
