Grade 9 Coding - No fear! Resources will be shared here.
For the purpose of keeping things simple, we are going to use the Google option for our programs using Python. It is called ' Google Colaboratory' or 'Colab' for short. https://colab.research.google.com/
When you and your students access Colab, you will have a pop-up window where the default will show you your most recent Colab file (notebook).
NOTE: all Colab files automatically save in your Google Drive. You can choose to open a file that you are working on, or click on New Notebook which is in the bottom right-hand corner of the pop-up window.
A nice thing about Colab is that it looks and feels like a most Google Workspace products.
There are two options in Colab - type code or type text. Watch this brief video to see how to create code & text cells. This video will also show you how you can share a Colab with others; add comments; and make text a heading using #.
