Teaching Python Programming With Web-Based Interactive Program Visualizations

Online Python Tutor (www.pythontutor.com) is a free educational tool that helps students overcome a fundamental barrier to learning programming: understanding what happens as the computer executes each line of a program's source code. Using this tool, a teacher or student can write a Python program directly in the web browser and visualize what the computer is doing step-by-step as it executes the program. So far, over 100000 people have used Online Python Tutor to understand and debug their programs, often as a supplement to learning from textbooks, lecture notes, and online programming tutorials. We are actively seeking partnerships with educators at all grade levels to deploy and improve this tool. Email philip@pgbovine.net if you are interested in collaborating.
