EndarionBeing a computer scientist, I plan to teach a ten-year-old some basic programming concepts. Given that I am blind and he is sighted, can anyone please suggest a platform that does not bore him to death by confining him to text-only while at the same time being accessible to me so that I can check what he's doing and where he needs help? #blind #accessibility #programming
Oskar@Endarion https://app.edublocks.org/ is a block-based visual programming language like scratch but also provides a text based programming interface.
@oskar_mbr Thank you, I'll check that out. From first impressions the UI does not appear to place nicely with screenreaders, but it is a valuable data point and maybe they are interested in making it better. I remain very much open to more suggestions.
@Endarion I found Keyboard Navigation for blockly. But i did not find a working online example. https://developers.google.com/blockly/guides/configure/web/keyboard-nav?hl=en
@oskar_mbr It's definitely uncharted territory. Hope someone with teaching experience chimes in at some point. And thank you so much for the research you did!!
