Shout out to Jessica and Chalmers for all the hard work they put in organizing the EDU Summit at Pycon 2015 in Montreal! All of the presentations where both simulating and inspiring, and the combination of topics was very well orchestrated.
Now let's see if we can get something to happen within our community between now and the next EDU Summit. I'm most interested in two specific things: 1. Improvements to IDLE to make it a more effective beginners learning tool. Al Sweigart presented a very well thought out plan for this in his talk. To his list I would only add being able to save graphics artifacts generated by the turtle module as svg files. 2. Improving out presence on the python.org website. Both Dr. Chuck and Van Lindberg had great suggestions for improving our web presence. I think what is lacking now is a plan to find and allocate the resources it would require to make things happen. Thanks again, Jessica and Chalmers! Jeff _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
