Teaching Software

Today, I read "The Science in Computer Science" from Peter J. Denning in CACM (May 2013).  Very interesting article.

The most interesting part to me were the references to how CS ideas are beginning to be taught in high school and elementary school.  Here are some references that I found after looking into this:

• http://csunplugged.org/open-source-edition-ms-word (fun, offline approach to teaching basics, CC licensed)
• http://www.code.org/teach (great intro videos to kick off the idea, 1m, 5m, and 9m versions)
• http://www.code.org/learn (links to sites to learn coding)
• http://www.csprinciples.org/home/about-the-project (pilot project to reinvigorate AP CS course)

Here is one of those videos linked to above:

I need to volunteer to teach at my kids' school, and in a community education setting.
