The Institute for Computing Education (ICE) will hold a 5 day Computing in the Modern World workshop June 27 - July 1st, 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 the programming and web development parts of Computing in the Modern World. This course includes approxiamtely 9 weeks of computer programming (seehttp://gadoe.georgiastandards.org/career.aspx?PageReq=HSPhaseI#computing). The Computing in the Modern World course is based on the ACM's Model Curriculum for K-12 Education's Computer Science in the Modern World Level II course. The location of the workshop will be in the College of Management, room 203. Here are the directions for theJune 27-July 1, 2011 - Computing in the Modern World Workshop.

This workshop is for teachers with no or little experience in computer programming. It will introduce basic concepts of computer programming using Pico Crickets, Lightbot, and Scratch. A PicoCricket is an arts and crafts kit for the digital age (seehttp://www.picocricket.com/). You can use a PicoCricket to make a musical pickle, make a kinetic sculpture, and more. Scratch is free software from MIT that allows kids to learn programming concepts while creating 2D animations and games (seehttp://scratch.mit.edu). This workshop will cover the basics of computer programming including problem solving, algorithms, computer hardware, variables, loops, conditionals, list processing, and event handling. We will also learn computing concepts by using activities from CS Unplugged (seehttp://csunplugged.org). These activities teach about binary numbers, encoding, error detection, networking and more. We will also cover the basics of web page creation: HTML, XHTML, CSS, and some javascript.

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

Georgia Standards for CMWhttps://www.georgiastandards.org/standards/Georgia%20Performance%20Standards%20CTAE/Computing-in-the-Modern-World.pdfLesson plans and materials for CMWhttp://gactaern.org/curriculum_comp_modern.htmlThanks 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 Computing in the Modern World in Fall of 2011.

All teachers must register athttp://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TDMWMWD. Georgia public school teachers must register onhttp://www.ctaern.orgfor workshop CTAERN3227 (new catalog). Please bring a laptop if you have one, or notify us if you need to borrow a laptop.

Checks or purchase orders should be made out to the Georgia Institute of Technology. Space is limited to 30, so please send your payment as soon as possible. The payment is refundable up to 1 month before the workshop begins. Send your payment to:
