CS4HS 2012 Workshop Schedule

Do you need resources to introduce your high school students to the field of computer science? Would you like to more fully integrate principles of computing and computational thinking into your classroom? The University of Michigan's CS4HS workshop is designed to support the activities of computer science teachers and to establish a dialog about the focus and requirements of collegiate CS programs, so that high school students can be better prepared for a future in computer science.

 Oracle Academy prepares students for 21st century careers and provides teachers with world-class training and professional development opportunities.

I checked out their website and I find it a bit of a joke. First off, their Introduction to CS includes topics like PL/SQL which is proprietary. Oracle states that their Introduction to CS workshop is free and then when you go to enrol it is only available in China, India, and Brazil. I was expecting them to offer something like the FREE course that Stanford offered this spring by Nick Parlante.
