This is an update to my original post asking for help in a course I'm teaching on web technologies, collaboration and the internet to undergrad Computer Science students.
Thanks to everyone that emailed or posted a response.
I'm collecting the responses here:
Apologies for my short summaries. Visit the links for the full (and more nuanced and considered) posts.
If I've missed a post and you notice, please let me know.
Thanks to everyone that emailed me with suggestions. Condensed summaries are below:
Received a suggestion from Martin about showing off different gemini clients and configurations and having students pick their favorite way of viewing and interacting
Tracker wrote about the advantage of Gemini lies in its simplicity of writing a server or client and suggested having students build those. Tracker also wrote about the security model as a teaching tool and suggested a collaborative wiki could be built by students on Gemini, which is a neat idea.
Sandra also thinks building a gemini client could be a fun project and learning Gemini as a 'toy' version of the web
Thanks so much to everyone that wrote or posted a response. This is super helpful. I'm still working on my lesson plans now but I do think a multi-week thing where I introduce Gemini, look at example capsules, 'social sites' like Bubble or how Antenna works, pick a client and customize it, and the spec will be in the first session. The next session perhaps we will try to implement building a client together. I appreciate the framing suggestions as well. I hope to be able to post more in a month or two with some follow-up on how it goes.
