Introducing Python

posted by: Ms. Martin 14 September 2009 No Comment

I talked a little more about what programming languages are and introduced the one we will learn this semester, Python.  I also introduced the environment we will be starting with, Turtle Graphics.  Turtle Graphics is released with Python and gives us a nice, visual way of getting used to some of Python’s syntax (structural elements like colons and tabs).  Students got a chance to start playing with the language and I challenged them to build me a house using functions for each part of the structure.
