More about this course
  • Block-based programming languages like Scratch make it simple to learn and teach programming. But once your students have mastered it, it's time to move on to a text-based programming language such as Python. This online course will show you how.
  • You'll discover how to transfer the programming and thinking skills learnt while using Scratch to Python. You'll look at how to help your learners develop basic text-based programming skills, understand error messages and debug code.
  • The course will show you the power of text-based programming and give you the tools to support your students' transition.
