Time tables or todo apps may bore many children to death. Maybe you can find a JavaScript-based 2D game engine? That would certainly be more engaging for them.
- raghavtoshniwal 8y agoThat is a really good idea. It might be a little more complicated to teach graphics/simple physics but maybe it would be worth it.
- 4x5_Rules 8y agoYou might want to start them out on Scratch. It's pretty easy to do a game with that. After an hour or two on that, let them move on to JS or Python. My .02 cents....
