Sean, I recently taught 16 high school juniors and seniors vim through two means:

- www.vim-adventurs.com. I negotiated an educational discount and rewarded kids points based on the number of levels they completed. A few of the kids actually completed all 14 levels. What teacher assigns game homework? I can say all 16 are using vim on a daily basis for Python with zero complaints. At least to me.

- vimtutor. We spent an hour on this one. It's an app that comes with vi. It really just launches vim with a text file that teaches you the basics.

Yeah, it's $25 but well worth it. You will get stuck. Use his Facebook page for hints.
