i think this is a great idea. parallel learning is useful, and there should be no reason why it can't be done on a regular basis. in fact, it'll make it easier to come up with coding examples *and* help the kids with their other subjects at the same time.
i did something similar a few years back ( http://www2.linuxjournal.com/article/5597 -- see Listing 1 ), but alas, the intention, however, was wrong. it wasn't as grand a scheme as you describe. rather, it was just a half-baked attempt to pay homage to my favorite rock band. :-) cheers, -wesley > Date: Fri, 30 Sep 2005 15:54:13 -0700 > From: "Kirby Urner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Edu-sig] Rich Data Structures > To: [email protected] > > Here's an opportunity to impart the humanities entirely tangentially > to the > engineering curriculum. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2001 http://www.corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: cyberweb at rocketmail.com cyberweb.consulting :: silicon.valley, ca http://www.cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
