This Looks Good

https://livecode.com/teaching-programming

HOWEVER, as it is on the LiveCode Create Beta website it is unclear whether it refers to LiveCode (as was) or Create (as yet to come).
Teacher-Friendly Resources
Access free lesson plans, starter projects, and step-by-step guides. No programming background? No problem.
Super: but WHERE does one access these 'free' resources?

Hey, it was wonderful to download the resources that are offered:

Nice to see that with LC 6 they are slam-bang up to date.

(and we can ignore the fact that Mr Whyte is so slap-dash that he wrote his surname with a lower case letter).

Come on, surely you can do better than come up with stuff that is 13 years old.

Even if these resources are still valid, I'll have to edit those PDF documents to cover up the fact that they are relatively ancient, for my ongoing "computer club" (Saturdays 11 am to 2 pm), and my upcoming June/July intensive 'struggle'.

Of course LC won't really care in my case as I am teaching with LC 9.6.3 Community and 2 other xTalk IDEs.

BUT they might like to think about the impression this sort of stuff will make on new would-be educators who have paid good money for LiveCode.

AND, of course, these resources probably are not much use for working with CREATE.
