The Institute for Computing Education (ICE) will hold a 5 day Intermediate Programming workshop July 18-22, 2011 at Georgia Tech. The workshop will begin each day at 8:30am and end Monday - Thursday at 4:00pm and on Friday at 11:30am. Teachers must attend all 5 days, and participate in work during class, to receive 3 PLUs. This workshop will help prepare a teacher to teach Intermediate Programming. The Intermediate Programming course is based on the ACM's Model Curriculum for K-12 Education's Computer Science in the Modern World Level III course. he location of the workshop will be in the College of Management, room 222. Here are the directions for the July 18-22 2011- Intermediate Programming Workshop

This workshop is for teachers who have programming experience in Java. If you don't know any Java please take Beginning Programming first!

Upon completion teachers will know what activities they can use to introduce:

Thanks to our National Science Foundation grants there is no fee for this workshop for Georgia teachers. Out of state teachers will pay $450.00. Due to a NSF grant we will be able to cover a room, parking, and food at theGA Tech Hotelfor Georgia teachers who live greater than 30 miles from campus. Guests will be staying with two teachers per room, unless you wish to pay an additional cost for a private room. Private rooms are $59.50/night. We will also cover lunch and parking for all teachers. Preference is given to teachers who are teaching Intermediate Programming in the fall of 2011.

All teachers must register at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7MZ8XCB. Georgia public school teachers must register on http://www.ctaern.orgfor workshop CTAERN3259 (new catalog). Please bring a laptop if you have one, or notify us if you need to borrow a laptop.
