Programming little educational applications

Teaching informatics in primary and secondary schools in Slovakia has already become a tradition. A creative informatics teacher can take different forms for their lessons. One of them is the use of small educational applications which programs the teacher programmed him/herself. As part of a KEGA project we decided to create a software library, which provides comfort to the teacher and thus supports him in the development of little applications. We focused on the specification of different activity types that the student can do in the application. We took ideas from the iBobor contest (the Slovak version of the Bebras contest) tasks and also from activities that were implemented by teachers within the national project of Further education of teachers of informatics. In determining the environment in which he might be implementing the activities, we decided to prepare a library and implement in it such a functionality that would allow teachers to prepare small educational activities for IT lessons.
