I enjoyed Kid Games with Visual Basic Express.  I really liked the step by step method.  It was easy to understand and my students really enjoyed  the examples, which all made a dry subject matter a fun and creative class.  I also liked the format, as I can teach on my iPad.  I’ll be back for more next year.”
