Hi Matthew,

Thanks for sharing your progress here! I'm very pleased to hear
you are finding classroom resources that work for you.

I can't resist to throw another left-field link at you, it is not
directly related
to anything you mentioned, but simply in case you or anyone else finds it
interesting.

micropython ... I just discovered it myself recently, here is a video
presentation by its creator:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm08hXeuv-I

It is worth watching from the beginning, but there is specific mention
of its use in UK education around time 39:00.

Personally I think that it's very cool to be able to control hardware with
a Python REPL interface.

If you search the web for micropython you will find more resources,
as I currently doing myself, for a specific hardware project.
