Hello.
I'm taking a class called Computer Science Principles next year in 10th grade as part of my electives. There are 4 classes to it, this is just the first.
Anyways, the class uses Python for 70% of the year, and HTML for the other 30%.
I was in there today, doing some testing with the website that they have the online textbook in, just to see if it was accessible and it was.
But I was looking at some of the lessons, and quite a few of them used Turtle graphics with Python.
Now, this isn't my biggest problem because as far as I know I can still code it, but I obviously won't be able to see what it does with said code after I'm done with it on the screen.
So I think that will be Okay.
But my big question is that we're also going to be doing pair programming.
I've heard from a few people that Pair Programming is pretty difficult when you're blind. Now, as I understand it, Pair Programming is where you have 2 people working at one computer, 1 codes, the other is looking at the code that you write, and makes suggestions and things like that while the other person is coding.
Now, for obvious reasons, I won't be able to make suggestions while someone is coding in real time, which may or may not defeat the whole purpose of it.
And there's probably other things that would make it harder that I don't know of.
So I'm wondering if I can't do pair programming at all or what I can do about it.
Thank you.
