AP Computer Science A Course Home Page
The Advanced Placement Program offers a course and exam in introductory computer science. The course emphasizes object-oriented programming methodology with a concentration on problem solving and algorithm development, and is meant to be the equivalent of a first-semester college-level course in computer science. It also includes the study of data structures, design, and abstraction
The AP Computer Science A course can be offered by any secondary school that has faculty who possess the necessary expertise and have access to appropriate computing facilities. The course represents college-level achievement for which most colleges and universities can be expected to grant advanced placement and credit.

Arizona Technology Integration Matrix
A Resource Supporting the Full Integration of Technology in Arizona Schools
The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students.
The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal directed (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003).
The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells.

Supporting computer science education with CS4HS
statistics have shown a decline in the number of U.S. students taking computer science AP classes, which also leads to a decline in students declaring computer science as their majors—a concerning trend in the U.S. as we try to remain competitive in the global economy.
With programs like Computer Science for High School (CS4HS), we hope to increase the number of CS majors —and therefore the number of people entering into careers in CS—by promoting computer science curriculum at the high school level.

International Technology Qualifications
https://tlm.org.uk/
International Technology Qualifications
The New INGOTs are based on the ITQ, the UK National Vocational Qualification
The schools ITQ is designed for use in UK schools. It has mandatory units and guidance that ensure that the programmes of study and attainment targets of the UK National Curriculum for schools is completed. At the same time the requirements for the ITQ qualifications are met leading to the award of the National Vocational Qualification at Level 1 or Level 2 or a support award at Entry Level. All these awards are referenced to the European Qualifications Framework through the UK Qualifications and Credit Framework.
Each qualification is assessed using the INGOT method of direct criteria matching by trained assessors using supporting evidence from an e-portfolio. The certification levels achieved in the QCF are directly mapped to National Curriculum levels and so National Curriculum assessment requirements are fully supported as well as leading to a vocational qualification.
The Open ITQ removes the constraints of the UK Schools National Curriculum. It is assessed using the INGOT method of direct criteria matching by trained assessors using supporting evidence from an e-portfolio but there is no need to reference the National Curriculum or its programmes of study.

Understanding Computers and the Internet

Harvard Extension School's Computer Science E-1: Understanding Computers and the Internet
Free Computer Science Course : in English, Chinese or Turkish
This course is all about understanding: understanding what's going on inside your computer when you flip on the switch, why tech support has you constantly rebooting your computer, how everything you do on the Internet can be watched by others, and how your computer can become infected with a worm just by turning it on.
In this course we demystify computers and the Internet, along with their jargon, so that students understand not only what they can do with each but also how it all works and why. Students leave this course armed with a new vocabulary and equipped for further exploration of computers and the Internet. Topics include hardware, software, the Internet, multimedia, security, website development, programming, and dotcoms.
This course is designed both for those with little, if any, computer experience and for those who use a computer every day.
