Teach Programming with Visual Basic
Learn how to write programs in Microsoft Visual BASIC and feel confident to deliver courses on programming in your classroom.
This course relies on freely downloadable Microsoft Visual Studio Community Edition or Visual Basic Express, so no software purchase is required. The course uses Microsoft Visual Basic to teach programming, computational thinking and programming concepts suitable for GCSE Computer Science, or for simply introducing programming to your classroom.
Participants will gain the skills needed to teach Programming and computational thinking in the classroom even if you have never done anything similar before. There are no course pre-requisites apart from the ability to use a computer.
No prior knowledge of programming is assumed, this course will gently introduce you to the concepts, skills and techniques required to be a programmer in a friendly supportive class.
The course also includes tips on delivering programming courses, differential learning, peer evaluation techniques and ideas for projects.
The course tutor has been making a living from Visual Basic and Microsoft Studio for over 20 years and has produced many commercial pieces of software over the years.
