  1. A Potpourri of Exciting CS Teaching Resources Joe Kmoch Milwaukee Public Schools joe@jkmoch.com May 4, 2007

  2. Resource List • CSTA Web Repository • CMU CS4HS July Workshop • CS Unplugged • Google Map APIs • Greenfoot • Alice, KarelJRobot • Python, Squeak, Ruby

  3. CSTA CS Web Repository • Searchable database of classroom and professional development CS and IT (information technology) materials • Classification is based on the ACM K-12 CS Curriculum Standards • Grew out of joint project of the College Board and ACM • Development responsibility assumed by CSTA <csta.acm.org> • http://csta.villanova.edu/CstaRepository/

  4. CSTA CS Web Repository • Intent is to house materials generated by K-16 teachers which support teaching based on the ACM K-12 CS Standards • Includes materials for programming topics as well as other IT areas included in the standards

  5. CSTA CS Web Repository • Brief Review of ACM CS Standards • Level 1 - K-8 • Includes units to develop algorithmic thinking and problem solving using technologies Level 2: 9-12 Introduction to Computing course

  6. CSTA CS Web Repository • Level 3: 10-12 • Emphasizes algorithmic development and problem solving skills development through programming Level 4: 11-12 Includes a variety of CS and IT topics including APCS, Networking Support, other certifications, etc

  7. ACM Model Curriculum for K-12 CS

  8. How? (Using the Repository) • Browse by classification • Search by title, author, keyword, or date • Download • Free to CSTA members (and first year of membership is free!)

  9. Submitting Resources • Who? CSTA members and other approved individuals (by request) • Guidelines for classifying and submitting are available on CSTA Web site (template for organizing info, explanation of fields) • All submitted resources will be reviewed before approval (small team of educators)

  10. Brief (online) demo http://csta.villanova.edu/CstaRepository/

  12. CMU CS4HS Topics • Computational Thinking • CS Unplugged • Google <http://google.com/apis/maps/documentation> • Food for Thought • Broadening Participation in CS • Raptor: Flowchart Simulator to Introduce CS Ideas w/o coding • Security and mySpace • Human Computation • Robotics • Careers and Social Responsibility • Cognitive Tutors

  13. CMU CS4HS • Great Conference • You cover several meals and travel • You pay $25 and the rest is covered
