Teach your kid PHP
Teach Kids Programming with PHP
Programming is a great way to teach a child problem-solving skills and introduce them to technology’s inner workings. PHP is a great language to carry this out. In this course, I focus on helping adults who are experienced with PHP pass their coding skills on to a child or student. Each inquiry-oriented chapter consists of seven parts:
- Teacher’s Guide: Introduces the concepts in the chapter and preps the adult on places where the student might get stuck
- Try It: Immediately engages the student, showing working code in action
- Check It Out: Encourages the adult and student to engage with and edit some existing code
- The Facts: A lecture for the student to watch
- Extend It: An exploration of expanded and extended concepts
- Challenge: A hands-on coding challenge for the student
- Solution: A step-by-step solution presented by the author
This course, in essence, acts as a lesson plan to help teach PHP to a beginner. Its structured curriculum supports those who have a solid understanding of PHP, but don’t necessarily know how to teach PHP effectively to kids.
