- Students are often intimidated by programming, but we can make it seem less intimidating by explaining that programming languages are just a way of communicating with the computer.
- When you give instructions to a small child you give them really specific instructions, like the instructions you give to a computer.
- For example, you might tell a little kid to go to their room, get their toy, and bring it back.
- A notebook open while programming to write down steps of the problem is always helpful for students to have on hand.
