The usual problem is that students aren't interested unless they can see a direct path to employment. Logo doesn't fulfill that, obviously. I can never quite decide if web dev is a blessing or a curse for learning programming. Whilst the learning curve for HTML/CSS might seem shallow, that's partly because these aren't programming languages. Teaching these things may feel initially productive because they're quite simple and you get immediate tangible results, but it sucks up time that could have been spent tackling an actual programming language meaning. When Javascript inevitably comes there isn't enough time left to teach it slowly enough, and students are struggling to bridge multiple technologies together that don't share anything in common. |
