Suggested: All curriculum changes for the next year done by February at the latest. After that make updates to PD and support materials. Keep a beta, current, and deprecated version of curriculum available.<br></li><li>Numerous discussions on whether block programming is a "training wheel" for "real" programming or stands on its own. David W's work was referenced and many are waiting to read his study on the blocks vs text pseudocode study.</li><li>Differences in style: sage on the stage vs. guide on the side, what is wanted/needed for CS-P, how are curricula different?</li><li>Platforms used and wanted to deliver content. So many different LMS, SIS, content delivery systems to integrate with. To be discussed more.</li></ol></div><div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:small">Dianne O'Grady-Cunniff</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:small">Acting Director, Maryland Center for Computing Education</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-size:small">CS Matters in Maryland</div><div style="font-size:small">VP Maryland Computer Science Teachers' Association</div></div></div></div></div>
