BluntCrazeMan:
How far with this??
You later got good hints?
How did it go with the kids?

Good morning sir, I didn't get the job because the woman later ask that I do full-time teaching and I can't do that due to what I am learning online(Thanks to ASUU). I just needed the job to sustain myself. Thank you for reaching out.

Good evening everyone. Thank you for the previous responses, I didn't get the job though. I just thought to update you all. Thank you and happy celebration.

yelinco1:
I did this for 3 years before i finally resigned 6 months ago. I can send the materials and link i used if you are interested. Just DM and you'll have it free of charge.

Thank you for reaching out, I have sent you a private message.

debbie:
I teach my kids with scratch, Minecraft, tynker and a few cool applications.
You don't need to overload them at this age, that is the mistake we make in Nigeria.

Even as an adult learning coding involved more than just following the structure...you need to build some soft skills like analytical, critical thinking, logical and creative abilities for you to really enjoy it.

For these kids please allow them have fun while learning, help them discover their skills and engage them...else you won't get the best .

Tech is good, but it must be fun too

Thank you ma.

BigBelleControl:
My own is a question.
What is the appropriate age for a child to start learning coding?

Age 5/6 is not bad.

Mopolchi:
I want to learn coding

You need to have a definiteness of purpose first.

FalseProphet1:
There are no prophecies on how to teach kids only declarations.

Therefore I'll advice you to lay your right hand on the head of every child in your class and decree like this "You deaf and dumb spirit in this head, be banished forever and you spirit of coding enter" repeat this process for 2weeks and they'll become professional programmers even though you decide not to teach them at all.

This I have seen.

Ahah Oga FalseProphet1 abeg o.

I really appreciate everyone that responded, I am very grateful to you all. God bless you all and thank you.

Seniorwriter:

Use GAMIFICATION format....BTW I hope they have the required gadgets in the school...feel free to reach out for my simple mentorship for kids Manual...a step by step user-friendly guide to mentoring kids effectively.

@Seniorwriter

Thank you sir. I don't know if they have the required gadgets because it's a primary school. Thank you.

cooooooks:
Have you heard of SCRATCH?

Just recently, thanks.

Tapout:


search for "scratch" on Google. It's a blocked based programming language (click and drag). I've used it before and I believe that's your best choice from experience.

Yes, I will definitely go for it. Thank you.

It could be hard for a programmer who learned as an adult to teach kids, but I learned as a kid, so here is my take.

The goal is get the kids interested and give them basic problem solving skills. I would recommend GWBASIC or QBASIC consol programming. I learned programming when I was 13/14 and I used QBASIC. I remember using codes to solve mathematical problems I already knew the formulas. E.g. area of a two dimensional shapes and volume of three dimensional forms. Because, I was already familiar with these formulas, I was able to concentrate on coding them which made it fun. QBASIC is English-like ans very simple. The plain black IDE and bold prints makes less techy and a suitable playground.

With time, I was able to add conditions so the same code can solve multiple problems based on the user's inputs. When I decided to move on to GUI, my BASIC skills were helpful cause I started with Visual Basic 8.0 which later became VB.Net. VB.Net also helped me move on to C# (.Net). C# belongs to the C family of languages, so it was easy for me to learn other similar languages like Java and PHP afterwards. I didn't learn Python till years later. I still hate Javascript and only use it when I have to.

Today, I don't use these languages often (asides C#) but the problem solving skills remain applicable to the languages and tools I use at the moment.

Thank you for your contribution sir.

pafra:


I need my kids to learn coding.
Where can they learn?
Is there schools secondary that do coding?
Is it better learning online?

They can learn with a good instructor via online. I don't know about the secondary school but with a good instructor who will direct them and teach them well, it will be easy to navigate. Thank you.

severee:

Start by showing them how to code with scratch app for PC and solo learn for Android and when going into the main event start with basics like html and css

Please � do a lot of practicals no kill Dem with note

Thank you boss. Someone I met also recommended scratch.

Depressed101:
youtube is a very good place to start.

A coder should know where to find this sort of information, you and I know nairaland is the least of the places

I know Youtube is a a very good place to start, I just needed someone who already have the experience to give me insights and know what to do from there. Thank you for your contribution.

Good afternoon everyone, I created a thread in the education section and I need your inputs. Thanks

@mukina2 help me push upward. Thanks.

lordm:
Add me up, I will give you hint

I have sent you a private message sir.

Good afternoon educated fellows.
I am about to get a job that entails teaching children how to code., children in primary schools most likely. But I don't know how to go about it in terms of the materials to use. Please I need contributions on what to use to make them understand and most importantly what materials anything at all. I am supposed to return before the weeks runs out.
@ fynestboi please help me push

Thanks.

I honestly don't know the password as I just reposted it from the group where I saw it. Though I think it should be one internet marketing or blackhat forum. let me try and search for it.

OK boss.

Vicky2k:

Nothing like Stone age Pattern bro, Learning can be achieved in many ways. Just follow what works for you. I still take notes in my jotter to make reference when needed. Sure Google and Stack overflow is there but having some diary is not a bad idea. I am currently learning Alx Full Stack Web Development and I take paper notes cos I feel its important to keep track of new stuff o learn.

Help me tell lam o. Everybody get e own learning style, I also take notes and reference just like you.

Vicky2k:
If you' go through the Programming Section, you will agree with me that Maximilian Schwarzmuller Courses have good reviews. I recently stumbled on a link that hosts all the courses on Mega. Its approximately 1 Terrabyte of data.

The password please.

Same thing happened at the the place I wanted to start teaching whenever I don't have lectures. The woman offered 15k for science and some art subjects plus I will take the primary schools pupils whenever she request. Omo I thought about the tfare plus the tfare sef don pass salary naso I run.

Enter any market and tell them you want to learn a trade

Thank you.

Entrepreneurship and Business development skills.

Join devcareer(laptops4developers) community to join their next cohort.

Hello fellow up and coming developers, hope you are all doing good?

just have a question to ask, and that is how you feed while learning.

Let me start from myself, well sometimes I do little stuffs around like labouring and I am trying to get a part-time job to sustain myself while I keep learning make man no die.


So that is it. How do you feed while learning/ writing codes?

realunclej:
some deep courses on big data, AI and Analytics

Thank you for your response.

realunclej:
that's the point I'm trying to drive at. I know with my current skill level I can easily get engaged as a remote engineer. But I'm still taking some [b]high paying job course[/b]s where you have less than 0.5% market supply. My approach would be to develop an application targeting Nigeria and Africa at large with these skills set and use it for my portfolio.

Good morning, I will like to know about some of these courses.

onyeadurunujoel:
This was the reason I left ODIN project, I use windows and their requirement was Linux/Mac

Oh! really, they are very strict o.

airsaylongcome:


VM with VirtualBox then. It's a softer intro to Linux.

Thank you very much.
