Prepare students for coding IRL #77

Open mdpiper opened 2 years ago

mdpiper commented 2 years ago

When teaching Ivy lessons, we use Jupyter Notebook on a JupyterHub. Notebooks are great for teaching, but they don't model how students should actually be coding. We may not be preparing students well to use what we teach.

How can we show students how to develop code in an editor/IDE, deal with imports, output visualizations, etc., on their own computers?

A start is having students install development software on their own computers. There's a CoCo lesson in preparation that covers this.

I think this is mostly addressed with #121, but I'm keeping this issue open for awhile longer to think about it. (Maybe there should be some practice installing and using Spyder?)
