If you\u2019re new to teaching programming or looking to build or refresh your programming knowledge, we have a free resource that is perfect for you. Our \u2018Learn to program in Python\u2019 online course pathway<\/a> is for educators who want to develop their understanding of the text-based language Python. Each course is packed with information and activities to help you apply what you learn in your classroom teaching.<\/p>\n

Why learn to program in Python?<\/h2>\n

Writing a program in Python is very similar to writing in English, which makes starting to program much easier. Python is also a general-purpose programming language, so once you\u2019ve learned the basics, you can use Python for lots of different programming activities.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Python is a perfect choice for learning to program, and why many of our educational resources involve Python. Our seven online Python courses cover aspects from taking your first steps into programming, to writing a program to control an electronic circuit, to learning about object-oriented programming.<\/p>\n

With time and practice, you will be able to use Python programming to create unique solutions to problems, build helpful tools, and make things that are important to you.<\/p>\n

How does the Python course pathway work?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The courses in the pathway have been written by our educators and include advice and activities to help you teach programming in your classroom. You can reuse the course activities to explain programming concepts to your learners and get them to write programs themselves. Because you will have first-hand experience of the activities, you\u2019ll be able to anticipate your learners\u2019 difficulties and adapt your lessons to suit them.<\/p>\n

\n

All the courses are designed to take three or four weeks to complete, based on you spending two hours a week on participating. You can have free time-limited access to each course for the length of time it\u2019s designed to take to complete. For example, if it\u2019s a four-week course, like \u2018Programming 101\u2019, you can sign up for free to get four weeks of access.<\/p>\n

The seven courses in the Python path can be completed in any order you like, and you can choose the courses that match your interests and needs.<\/p>\n

\n

Each course involves activities that help you create a programming project using the concepts that you\u2019re learning about. These activities are designed to be a fun and interactive way to reinforce what you\u2019ve learned and can also be used with your learners in the classroom.<\/p>\n

Course spotlight: Programming 101<\/h2>\n

If programming is completely new to you, our \u2018Programming 101\u2019 course is the best place to start. In \u2018Programming 101\u2019, we use this definition of programming to start with the idea that programming is about you<\/strong> telling a computer what to do:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cProgramming is how you get computers to solve problems.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We see programming as a chance to think creatively about a problem and about all the different ways it could be solved. While you might be unfamiliar with terms like programming, algorithms, or selection, the \u2018Programming 101\u2019 course demonstrates how they touch on things that many of us know from other areas of our lives.<\/p>\n
