I've been playing around with programming tools that I can use in teaching, most recently I have been using Python with MCPI on a Spigot server running the RaspberryJuice mod. I've found Martin O'Hanlon's blog really helpful and am slowly learning how I could use this to give an engaging lesson. My hope is to have everything setup to the point that I could host several lessons or an after school club, having the students play together and work through programmatic challenges.

I'm not sure on how I will do that yet: I don't want students mucking up each others work area, or the server, but also want them to have some freedom and not drive extra work for myself checking their code constantly.
