Foil 8 How should/Could one Teach Java?

From Additional Java Material incl-Teaching at Grade 5-12 Level Living SchoolBook Teaching Java -- 22 August 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
Surely best to exploit Graphics and build lessons around ability to produce and manipulate Web Pages/Graphics
Low level Capabilities to produce text shapes and lines with various fonts and colors -- see CPS616 class notes
High level capabilities to modify existing code to customize a Java capability
  • see our ImageEditor (http://ocelot.cat.syr.edu/~shrideep/gcf) or
  • Java based talking heads collaboration system ( http://koum.npac.syr.edu:1972/TH/index.html) or
  • Games such as Magic Cube from (NPAC home page)
Java will produce quite easily the equivalent of PrintShop, KidPix
  • see http://beta.pixelsite.com/PS/pixelsite/pixelsite.html which is currently a CGI script but surely can be done in Java!
