@uan I should further clarify. We conducted class in a lab full of iMacs with appropriate software installed. (Therefore no one needed to own their own machine and we would all be on the same page which makes teaching / learning easier.) There's no IE for the Mac anymore and Chrome wasn't even public last summer; certainly no Chrome Mac-beta to speak of.
Rather than running class as if it were part of vocational school, we focussed on concepts and approaches. Learning code was necessary, but the type of code itself was incidental in a way. The point was to begin to think in abstract computer terms rather than physical building terms. Having to troubleshoot for IE, the worst major browser out there, would have detracted from actually learning concepts by stealing away class time to troubleshoot a browser that undermines good practices.
