Got my Raspberry Pi Zero a couple of days ago and was pretty excited that I was able to get one since they are pretty much sold out everywhere. I decided to get the Raspberry Pi Zero Budget Kit from Adafruit.com since I figured I would need most of the parts the kit had anyway. I still needed to pick up a powered USB hub to plug in a mouse and keyboard and a HDMI to DVI adapter to work with my monitor. Once those show up, then I'll be ready to download Raspian and start playing with this tiny computer.
I went to a talk at the PLTW conference last month about how to use Raspberry Pi's and Minecraft to teach about coding and it was a very cool idea. The presenter showed that for a few dollars and a little work you could really get a lot of learning out of these small computers and find something useful to do with Minecraft other than kill zombies and skeletons.
So once I get every thing together I'll be able to get started on trying this new toy of my out in the classroom.
