Re: How to: Teach java?

For an introduction to Java that kids can really dive into, try Robocode. I use it to introduce kids who don't have any programming experience to the basics of Java in the summer before they start my AP Comp Sci class. I am also happy to share some other lesson ideas if you would like. Send me a message.
