Comment on Use git+github in the classroom

Comments

I used this last year, they gave me an org and private repos for the student projects without any fuzz, it was really cool to teach a course with that and we open sourced the projects afterwards (it's in spanish, though) : https://github.com/progra4

I'll definitely use it again, the students learned a lot about project management and distributed version control systems, which is something that isn't being taught as it should, at least not where I went to college.

Sounds great! Assembla used to do this, but this seems a great way to learn Git. Students need to learn to understand SVN, some just don't get it. Git is a step on top of that, but very important to learn. Some colleges do teach project management by just doing it: I spent a quarter of my 4 years doing full-time projects.
