Greetings! For the past few months, I've been developing a website for educators and students to learn computer programming (ie, Python). My first project has been to create a basic programming environment entirely within a browser. Students can create, edit, load, save, and execute Python scripts directly in the browser. This coding environment (or IDE) is somewhat similar to cloud9, but has education in mind, and thus provides a much simpler environment for those focused on learning.
To keep things short, here is the URL pyschool.net if you would be interested in looking at the website. This is a working application. Feel free to use it. There is also a gallery where you can view and execute examples (many of these come off of the brython.info website, which helps power the pyschool.net app). This is not written in stone. If educators make it clear that some other environment is needed, I'm willing to adjust. I've decided to try to kick this into high gear (it took several months of my free time (nights/weekends) to get the site where it is). I'd like to work on this full time, and greatly enhance the site, add tutorials, (compile existing web resources) and also look at adding some K-4 level computing resources like blockly (https://code.google.com/p/blockly/) and tools to help educators and students. To do this, I've created a kickstarter campaign. The main directives of PySchool.net is to be free for educators and students forever, to reduce the technological burdens of hosting programming classes, and help compile resources to help produce lesson plans, etc. Here's the campaign link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2030013583/pyschoolnet-advancing-python-in-the-classroom Feel free to check it out.. :) Billy Earney
