mao dyud, kailangan dyud hagbongon para maka realize ang mga studyanti na dili para ilaha ang ilang kurso, kay later sa ila life kung mag permi ilang gi himo kay walay project ma human.

uu karaan na thread pero ok raman sad.

mulang....naa gani tawn ginikanan nga nihilak sa akong atubangan kay ni hangyo pero wala ko madala....kay perti gyud tapulana ato iyang anak...liman ka iyang mga klasmate nabuak na ang ulo sigig huna huna kung unsaun pag sulbad sa logic na akong gihatag pero iyang anak tawn...lingkod lang niya text2x ra. suyaa lagi nako.


@rics zalved: uo ui...kada project na ilang ipass ako jud na kilatison pag ayo.....

1. Do you have ebooks or site na ika suggest about visual basic na naay daghan exercises?

2. Unsay nindot na ipagama na project sa students?

naa koy libro sa visual basic ser. kung ganahan ka mopalit. baga siya nga libro kay daghan ma'g mga exercises og mga projects kada human sa mga chapters. sa karon wala ko gi-career ang VB.Net kay dili man pud ko ganahan ani hehe. di kay nako magamit kay Nagfocus rako's Java.

kadtong nang yellow ang cover bay unya baga kaayo? hehe

for me dali ra jd makat.un ang students if interested sa topic,
my suggestion that is an interest to ALL is GAME Programming without using any 3rd party engine.
straight native programming. kay makatudlo ka ug proper OO design (i.e. Design Patterns) and discipline sa coding.

Para nako its a good thing nga nag handle ka ug programming 1. If I were you, I will go all out on making them understand conditional and loops. Focus on these two gyud. Make them understand how and when to use two. Leave all the object orientedness, programming language, algorithms to other subjects since I believe naay specialized subjects para ana nila.

Don't focus pud on VB UI and stuff, just an introduction will do. If naa kay mga projects kay try to think of problems nga less input output sa UI but heavy sa conditions and loops. I believe nga if ma master ni nila they will go a long way irregardless of whatever language they will use.

Ayaw pud pag worry too much about slow learners. Try to gauge your average pace and dont wait for them. They have to realize nga programming is not for everyone.

And lastly focus on doing activities instead of discussion. they need to get experience as much as possible.

PS: Dukla head sa inyo department for not changing the syllabus.

I think it's better suited na dri nako ni i-post since daghan programmer dri.

I am a computer technology college instructor.
Ga start ko last year 2nd semester.
Karun nga semester I am handling computer programming 1, four ka sections.
I intend to use C/C++ pero i am forced to used visual basic ky mao man naa sa syllabus.

Well anyways so far nahuman na nako discuss ang basic controls like command buttons, text boxes, labels, option buttons, etc...
Last week I started discussing conditionals like If-else statements, logical operations (and/or) and variables.
Then ang ganahan nako sunod is to give them exercise problems to apply what they learned so far.
Para ma absorb jud nila. Then ako sad na apilan ug nested conditional statements and algorithms.
Dili gud unta ko mag problema ani if naa pa unta tarung ug updated na syllabus ang amo school.

So hangyo ko sa mga istoryans na programmers dri:

1. Do you have ebooks or site na ika suggest about visual basic na naay daghan exercises?

2. Unsay nindot na ipagama na project sa students? I know daghan istoryans dri na naa jud sa field. Your suggestions would be a great help and will be higly appreciated. Although later on ang mga students maoy ako pabut-on unsa ila gam-on based ug unsa ila hilig/ganaham para mas motivated sila mogama.

3. Sa mga computer instructors dri, pwedi molantaw sa inyo syllabus?


P.S.

When I was a student intro ra jud sa programming ako natilawan, mostly self study nalang.
And I recently found out na lisud man diay ning mag teach ug programming sa school.

First reason.
Dili tanan students motivated ug naay computer. And most students ganahan ug spoonfeeding permi,
dili kabalo mo google.

Second reason.
Naa sad jud medyo mga slow learner na students. Ang resulta ani maalahig ang
tibuok class then mawalaan na nuon ug gana ang uban ky sige nalang balik2 discuss.

Third reason.
Karaan ang syllabus. Hasta ang prospectus dili sad updated.

Fourth reason.
Ang uban teachers busy sa masteral/doctoral or sa mga requirements sa ched. So wala na ayo ug teach ang mga students sa mga before nila ani nga mga subjects. Importante man jud unta na ma grasp jud sa students ang basic subjects kay mao man na ila foundation. And some of my co-teachers dili jud programmers i mean wala jud sila experience. I was fortunate na nag freelance programmer ko prior sa ako pag teach. I have made desktop and embeded projects using VB, C, PHP and assembly.

Thank you so much for reading.Have a nice day.

Thank you for sharing your situation, and it's great to hear about your dedication to teaching programming despite the challenges you're facing. Let me address your concerns about blookets.org and provide some suggestions:

1. Learning Resources for Visual Basic:
Books:

"Microsoft Visual Basic 2017 for Windows, Web, and Database Applications: Comprehensive" by Corinne Hoisington.
"Visual Basic 2015 in 24 Hours, Sams Teach Yourself" by James Foxall.
Online Resources:

W3Schools (https://www.w3schools.com/vb/)
Microsoft Documentation for Visual Basic (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/visual-basic/)
2. Assigning Projects:
GitHub Classroom: Create assignments and projects on GitHub. It allows you to manage and grade programming assignments efficiently. Students can commit their code, and you can provide feedback through the platform.

CodePen or Repl.it: For smaller projects or coding exercises, platforms like CodePen or Repl.it allow students to write and run code online. This is especially useful if students don't have access to specific development environments.

3. Clarifying Syllabus:
Detailed Project Descriptions: When assigning projects, provide detailed descriptions, objectives, and evaluation criteria. This clarity can help both you and your students understand the expectations.

Regular Updates: Propose periodic updates to the syllabus to incorporate emerging technologies and industry-relevant skills. Emphasize the importance of staying current in the ever-evolving field of computer technology.

Additional Suggestions:
Real-World Examples: Share your practical experiences as a freelance programmer. Relating theoretical concepts to real-world applications can inspire and motivate students.

Interactive Learning: Integrate interactive elements into your classes, such as coding exercises, quizzes, and hands-on projects. This can engage students actively in the learning process.

Peer Collaboration: Encourage students to collaborate on projects. This fosters teamwork and provides an opportunity for them to learn from each other.

Office Hours: Offer additional help outside regular class hours, either in person or virtually. This can be crucial for students who need extra assistance.

Remember, the challenges you're facing are shared by many educators. Your dedication to updating the syllabus and seeking ways to improve the learning experience for your students is commendable. Keep adapting and innovating in your teaching methods to keep the students engaged and motivated. Good luck!
