Hi Kent (and all others). This is the first time for me too. I am using
a book called "Visual Basic for Education" by Adrian Janson. (it's
subtitle - a step by step approach to Visual basic specially tailored
for the classroom). It breaks down the programming into easy chunks and
has a great introductory piece on the tools of VB. My students were
challenged by turning the computer on...and are finding it ok.

Subject: VB6-cry for help-intro worksheets and exs needed

Hi folks, I'm now just finding time to consider this next outcome in
programming.
Decided to go with VB6, BUT, havent used it before!
Its on the system here at my new school, and am seeking graduated
resources to use with my 3 students at y11, yes I said 3! (and they aint
real smart either!)
Basically, a set of basic intro tasks from go to 'woe that will get us
up and running ('us' includes me too) is what I seek. We have the
visural studio VB6 1997 copyrighted version.
If anyone can help by way of worksheets, exercises etc word or PDF
formats etc ok. VITTA website yielded nothing I could use that I could
see.(unless I missed it!)
Thanks in advance if you can help..
email address below for direct contact
Cheers...Hic!

Thanks Adrian -- this sounds very promising, and I look forward to
further cooperation on our shared goals in IT training (and in
tackling Kevork's interesting questions).

P.S. Yes my son loves the year 10 game design elective he's doing with
you!
