Jonathan Sagorin Part of CW17
Are you facing the choice of how to teach or support coding on the iPad, and don’t know where to get started? Or are you just interested yourself, and want to learn more?
This workshop is for you! We’ll cover three popular offerings: Swift Playgrounds (from Apple), Codea (from Adelaide-based Two Lives Left), and Pythonista (from OMZ Software).
We’ll evaluate each app using the same selection framework, which you can use to choose any eduction app appropriate to your needs.
We’ll look into main features of each, getting started with simple coding, how to get additional content and share code with others, and where to find the best support resources.
Note: this is a hands-on workshop which requires that you bring an iPad along with you, running iOS 10.3 or iOS 11. All apps are available from the iOS App Store, and we encourage you to install them ahead of the conference to save time. Note that the combined size of all three downloads is around 900 megabytes.
