Stuck in JavaScript
So I’ve been accepted by this +45 women-only program in Web Development, and the classes start in two weeks.
Having already navigated through HTML and CSS, I decided to give JavaScript a chance.
After some online courses, tutorial videos, and trips to Git Hub, I realized that JavaScript is taught in the same way everywhere.
First step: you learn how to create a wheel, then a stick, then a pyramid. Second step: you must create a rocket and land on the moon!
I passed smoothly through the strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, and even objects. And here come the functions! Next step: simulating the Mars rover instructions (I’m not kidding: this is a real course).
As a language teacher, I think that creating another pedagogy for JavaScript is not impossible. Someone having a deep knowledge could choose not to copy and paste all the old courses and develop an alternative method for teaching JS.
Or maybe it already exists?
Count on me to update this article if I find it.
Post Scriptum :
I think that I finally found a pedagogic way to teach JavaScript. Bon courage!
