Striking thing from this image of who signed up for @UoEDigiSkills introductory Python course (based on @EDINADigital Noteable #jupyterhub platform) is just how diverse the audience is in terms of disciplines #ProgTeach

#ProgTeach Andrew Kirk describing using Noteable to teach Python to beginners - prompted by demand from schools, students, evidence from lynda.com self-driven training

#ProgTeach comment on James Slack's Noteable (JupyterHub) demo: also useful to zoom in on specific units, replacing slides - so live coding shared with students becomes much more effective
#ProgTeach Stuart King and @sangwinc now talking about and demonstrating using CodeRunner to teach introductory programming

Areti Manataki reminds us that showing your learners the mistakes you make when coding and how you identify and fix them is part of the programming process and just as important on videos for MOOCs #ProgTeach
