Re: Teaching Help
I will make a suggestion, as a teacher of both Java and C++. If you only have the time to teach one, just teach one and have the kids pick up the other on their own. Rather than confusing the second language tends to illuminate when you get a little practice in. Consider using something like Robocode to have the kids learn Java on their own. It is fun, easy to install and as a bonus if they do much with it they will learn a lot about how to use events and mathematics in a Java program. In general I think that picking up a second language is not only easier, it makes you understand the first language more completely.
