Introduction To File Input Output in Python Coding Editable Activities
Sometimes it's easier to store data in a file rather than include it in the code. I created this resource as an introduction to file input and output in Python. I've included 4 assessments, each increasing in difficulty so you can decide whether to use them for DI or just select the appropriate level for your class. Duration: Two 75-minute periods.

Introduction To Lists and Tuples in Python Coding Editable Activities
Lists and tuples are very similar data types in Python. They share several functions but are also very different which is why I created this resource as an introduction to both lists and tuples in Python. These data types are extremely powerful and important building blocks in Python. Duration: One 75-minute period.

Python Character Pixel Art Level 3 Editable Coding Project
It's time to demonstrate for loops and variables mastery. Text-based coding can also do pixel graphics. That's why I created this short activity so kids can have fun 'drawing' as they learn how to sequence! Each student gets their own character. There are 37 different characters ranging in difficulty from moderately challenging to fairly hard. You get to decide how "thick" the design must be as well as the size of the output in rows & columns, plus, whether or not the design should be vertical

Experience
I've taught computer science for 30 years. I have extensive experience in curriculum design and implementation. My resources have taken students from introductory programming to Advanced Placement success! My computer programming team had over 100 students from grades 9 to 12 and we regularly made it to the provincial finals. During the last few years I have had 90+ students write the Waterloo Computing Competition (CCC). On the computer engineering side, I designed the curriculum for an introductory engineering course and I also ran a FIRST robotics team for 5 years.
Teaching style
I have taught using differentiated instruction in a flipped classroom model long before either of them were buzzwords. Never give answers - only ask more questions! Students need to get there under their own steam otherwise they haven't earned the knowledge and it won't stick! You can't learn how to drive a car in a classroom. You need to be behind the wheel and experience the reality and then try to analyze what you did. The point of programming is to use it as a tool to help students learn how to learn. The language is just the vehicle.
Awards & shining teacher moments
The second year of our participation in FIRST Robotics we won Canada and advanced to the final championships in Houston Texas. Two of my CCC students made it to the University of Waterloo to participate in the Canadian Computing Olympiad and one of them made it onto the IOC team that competed in Thailand.
My own education history
I have a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor of Fine Arts. I taught myself how to program and as a result of my own journey I understand how students learn programming.
Additional biographical information
I have been a certified Advanced Placement teacher for over twenty years in Java as well as C.
