Hi, The dillema I have when teaching: our k12 curricullum of programming is more based on algorithms (math ideas), but when working as programmer, I see the bigger need of SW architecture knowledge.. OOP is one big topic, which could replace sorting alg stuff (that I never applied (directly) in this century...). The topics could be integrated in making mini game engine :) I'd still leave classics of sum, min search, and search in sorted vs non array to get the idea of algorithms. What are your approaches, if you have programming classes in K12? -- Jurgis Pralgauskis tel: 8-616 77613 _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
