The Institute for Computing Education will offer a 5 day Beginning Programming in Java workshop July 13-17th, 2009. The workshop will begin each day at 8:30am and end Monday - Thursday at 4:30pm and on Friday at 12:00pm. Teachers must attend all 5 days, and participate in developing lesson plans during class, to receive 3 PLUs. This workshop will help you teach Georgia's new Beginning Programming course (see http://www.georgiastandards.org/career.aspx?PageReq=PhaseI).
We will teach programming concepts by writing code in Python to manipulate a robot and manipulate media. We will use the Institue for Personal Robotics robots (see http://www.roboteducation.org) We will cover syntax, sequential execution, iteration, conditionals, functions, and parameters. We will also introduce object-oriented principles. The workshop will use a variety of activities to help you understand these concepts: lecture, role-playing, kinesthetic activities, and small programming assignments.
The workshop will be held at the Technology Square Research Building (TSRB) in room 118. TSRB is located at 85 Fifth Street NW Atlanta, Georgia 30308 - across the street from the GA Tech Hotel. Please see http://www.tsrb.gatech.edu/ for parking and directions.
There is a $350 fee for this workshop for Georgia public school teachers. Out of state teachers and private school teachers will pay $450.00. Due to a NSF grant we will be able to cover hotel, parking, and food for Georgia teachers who live greater than 30 miles from Georgia Tech. Guests will be staying with two teachers per room, unless you wish to pay an additional cost for a private room ($71/night). We will also cover lunch for all teachers. Preference is given to teachers who are teaching Begining Programming in the Fall of 2009.
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:
