I am starting a web development after school club at my local primary school (St Marks, Hadlow Down, East Sussex) on 3rd November, with weekly 1 hour lessons after school on a Thursday (which apparently clashes with baton twirling club). There are 10 pupils (if they all turn up) in years 4-6 (8-10 years old). Classes are one hour (though that really turns out to be 50 minutes by the time they have settled down and got the computers booted).

I intend to keep this repo up to date with lesson plans, a record of how the lesson went, what I would have done differently etc.

I am not a teacher, and not even a good web developer, so feel free to comment / fork / make pull requests etc.

Other useful resources relating to web development lessons I have discovered:

• http://fingswotidun.com/javascript/ aimed at 9-11 year olds
• For slightly older groups of kids also covering web development at blackheathcoding.posterous.com (who kindly allowed me to use their material about links for lesson 6).
• Open University Javascript as first language course
• John Resig blog post about teaching Javascript as a first language
• Some Mozilla material here

If you want to teach kids but not necessarily web development, a good starting point is Emma Mulqueeny’s article here
