Nitrome was the best! I especially loved their Steamlands game. You build these tanks to fight pirate tanks in a steampunk England.

A real benefit of the Socratic method is that those magical moments of insight are all yours. You discover a new insight yourself, guided along the way.
It's more fun and exposes any weaknesses. It's easy for the student to say they know something when they actually don't. Drawing links themselves exposes everything. Then a quick detour can fix the foundation before continuing.
It's also very effective for large classes. You are forced to pay attention, because the teacher could call on you at any time.

I recommend everyone read "Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman."
The parts on Brazil were particularly interesting.

This is really cool. First thing I looked for was a Wordle-type "share" button.
Maybe add a Wordle-style share button? Then everyone can play this with their friends.
They have absolutely no connection to the matter at hand. Since foo is often used before bar, you would think there is an ordering between the two but there doesn't have to be. They are hard to pronounce and easier to confuse.
Whenever I give an example I use variable names that actually make sense and are related to the example. I'm glad that I have been fortunate to not see "foo" and "bar" anywhere in all of the code I've seen in recent memory.
