Roberto,
Thank you for recommending our Math and Python book, but your amazon
link is to the old edition.
The current edition is at
http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Digital-Age-Programming-Python/dp/0982477546,
also available at www.skylit.com.

Hi Clint,
I was in your very situation in the past, and these are resources I
consider good:

According to the level of your students, and yours as well, you
might be more comfortable with one or more of the above mentioned.
I regularly run robotics after-school courses but I've never found
extremely helpful Python on NXT, for a number of technical glitches on it.
I prefer to focus on the learning way more than on the technical
aspects of the business.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
Roberto.

Greetings Python community,
I have been asked to create an introduction to programming course,
with an emphasis on Python and JavaScript, for this upcoming school year.
My knowledge of Python is beginning/intermediate, but I am willing
to learn in order to make this a viable course. I am interested in
interfacing with LEGO NXT and EV3 robotics kits, and possibly
designing some games.
If any of you can point me to some resources, it would be of great
help, and I would be extremely thankful.
Continued success in all you do,
