Dear Education Pythonistas,
I'd like to suggest two useful metrics for measuring the effectiveness of our
list:
1. Variety of posters.
2. Number of conversations.
Our Community Code of Conduct commits us to conducting ourselves in a welcoming
and respectful way, and what better measure of how
Yeah, what's education without metrics for success.
On that theme, how about the edu-sig home page @ Python.org, what might we
do with it?
I wrote an initial version in the distant past, then Andre took over and
made it better. The entire website got a new look.
However, more years have flown
- [ ] We should add a link to the edu-sig mailing list to the
awesome-python-in-education README:
https://github.com/quobit/awesome-python-in-education
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/edu-sig/
Personally, I recommend the Rosalind exercises because they're
multidisciplinary and they teach algorithms of the natural world:

A "How to ``conda install jupyterlab nbgrader``" would be a great onramp to
working Python into #k12cs and beyond.

The first task is already complete, Wes, the mailing list is already listed in
the awesome-ython-in-education README.
btw. I'll be sprinting on a Remix of the book, CS Principles: Big Ideas in
Programming on Monday. I'm remixing to make the text more compatible with
Python 3, and to respond

0) saw your brother today. woot.
1) re: freenode... setting IRC to reach a public teacher audience feels
like one extra layer of tech/learning curve that they have overcome to get
to the content. my two cents.
