Thinking of signing up for the £3 band of Trinket, to teach year 8 and up coding. I miss Google colab. Is Trinket any good. I am in a Microsoft school and have limited network bandwidth (25 Mb/s shared for the whole school)
#coding #python #education #edtech
@mrwheeler Replit is free to edu. I use it and find it better than Trinket, but they are similar. Bandwidth might kill either though...
@bitbybot Thanks for the tip. Actually, Replit was my first choice. It does everything I want it to do and is a great interface. Unfortunately our network couldn't handle it when I had the kids all logging in at the same time. We encountered the spinning wheel of boredom for a disruptive amount of minutes.
@wmvanstone @bitbybot Indeed it is often inadequate, but we have little choice at the moment. We are in the North York moors, and have a poor connection. I looked at Star Link, but that is way over my meagre budget. We play compromise far more than I would like.🙄
@wmvanstone @bitbybot aye. No complaints in that department.😁
@mrwheeler @bitbybot you may not have superfast broadband, but otherwise, what a great place to live.
