Khan Academy case study for an elementary classroom.

We knew we wanted to teach computer programming, but also knew that we’d be teaching it to a younger audience than most schools. We had to pay extra attention to how our students were responding to the content. We needed to be prepared to change, adapt and scrap strategies altogether.

We decided to experiment with the most challenging approach first – teaching programming with an actual, syntax-based programming language. We knew we could always switch to a more visual, drag-and-drop approach later.
