Help students find bugs by drawing or writing out what their code does at each step.

  • This will help students see exactly where their code is going wrong, so they know what part of their code needs to be fixed.
  • This can also help students understand how their programs run, so in the future debugging will be easier.

Improve the way you talk about your students and remove words from your vocabulary that make the students sound like outsiders instead of members of the school community.
