Lets not meander off the question, shall we? For an intro to programming - quickly seeing what and why happens trumps things like S-expressions vs identation, functional vs imperative, name it. What matters is that kids can form some mental model of what is happening and why. Thus feedback matters quite a lot.
The problem will be what material you choose and how you would present it. Making this on your own may be harder than expected. I found How to Design Programs ed.1 is way too repetetive and monotone. Realm of Racket is better but I think suited to kids 10 and above. How to Design Programs ed.2 seems good but I have not tried it yet. There are quite a few books on Scratch and ScratchJr though they lean very much towards gaming/entertainment style (which is not bad). The bootstrap initiatives are also targeted at a higher age. I will test DrRacket on my 8 year old son and will try to get some feedback. Regards: al_shopov На пн, 5.03.2018 г. в 18:13 ч.
