AP CS A on chromebook

[jgold84]

Hello,

Is anyone using chromebooks to teach java?  I am going to be using the iJava curriculum and may need to use chromebooks as our devices.  I have looked up a bunch of online IDE's and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions/experience.

Thanks,

-Josh

I had this problem last year. The short answer is - the online IDEs all have limitations and won't be able to do everything you want to teach AP CS - esp. the labs.

Specifically, we used browxy, repl.it, and codehs sandbox. Of these 3, the codehs sandbox worked the best for us. However, this year, the teaching team for AP CS is trying out cloud9.

This is the documentation the TEALS volunteers and putting together for C9.io. It is a work in progress and not tested.

CodeAnywhere.com is a nice option as it gives you a web-based code editor and a web-based shell to a linux server in the cloud. 

It does however cost $84/year or $10/month and so probably not an option for a pubilc high school

One of my graduate students, Fatima Abu Deeb, is building a custom web-based IDE for teaching Java or Python but it’s not ready for

general use.  If you have any suggestions of features you would love to see in a web-based IDE, please email me and/or her. 

Best,
