Teachers choose the programming language

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi All,

There is a new opportunity for learning
LiveCode in the classroom. :D

This is the key phrase:
Instructors can choose a language of their choice

In the Fall of 2016, the College Board will begin
a new course titled "AP Computer Science Principles,"
designed to "introduce students to the central ideas
of computer science, instilling the ideas and practices
of computational thinking and inviting students
to understand how computing changes the world."

This course will not replace the existing
"AP Computer Science A" course, but has been
added, "To appeal to a broader audience, including
those often underrepresented in computing."

A short list of differences between the two courses
notes that instructors can choose a language of their choice.

The curriculum framework directs the focus of instruction
away from programming as a skill and towards programming
as an activity, "enabling problem solving, human expression,
and creation of knowledge
