While collecting materials and working on the syllabus, they also discovered new material for their own classes. One of the new curriculum additions was [[http://scratch.mit.edu/|Scratch]]. Julie added Scratch to her introductory computer programming course and plans to continue using it in the future, as well as adding [[http://byob.berkeley.edu/|BYOB]] (Build Your Own Blocks). Julie has also added some activities from Stacey Armstrong's [[http://www.apluscompsci.com/|A+ Computer Science Curriculum]]. | While collecting materials and working on the syllabus, they also discovered new material for their own classes.

Julie and Nancy capped off the experience at the RET teachers meeting in Arlington, Virginia on February 24-25, 2011. The conference began with a presentation by Mitch Resnick, who created Scratch. They also met with the other RET teachers and discussed computational thinking strategies. On Friday they did a poster presentation at NSF (see below). Julie and Nancy will continue to enhance their math and computer curriculum with computational thinking strategies as they attend the [[http://www.isteconference.org/2011/|ISTE conference]] in Philadelphia and the [[http://csta.acm.org/ProfessionalDevelopment/sub/CSITSymposiaSite.html|CS & IT Symposium]] in New York during the summer of 2011. | Julie and Nancy capped off the experience at the RET teachers meeting in Arlington, Virginia on February 24-25, 2011.
