[Haskell-cafe] Teaching High-School one-semester FP (using Haskell)

[Allen Sobot]

I hope this will remove duplicate recipients, not entirely sure how to properly reply on this mailing list (and mailing lists period really) yet, sorry if I screwed something up...

God how I would have loved to have a Haskell (or any programming) course in high school 😅

Further remarks inline, and best of luck to you and your students, have fun

That's actually a great idea, I'll remember that when I start teaching one day 😅😅

You might want to consider, maybe, Repl.it for its collaborative online coding facilities which might come in handy in this context. For community stuff, of course Discord or Zulip are in my opinion great choices for questions and answers, and Discord has great screen sharing and voice chat as well, idk about Zulip enough on that one though 😅 but both require time and experience to set up properly and securely; your students might be able to help you with that for Discord if you don't have experience with it yourself.
