A mostly web-based music curriculum that teachers in the KML federation took a look at a couple of months ago. Get a bunch of schools together to look at and and they just might bring food. They had Panera cater a meal for during the presentation!
Bootstrap is a standards-based curriculum for middle-school students,
which teaches them to program their own videogames using purely algebraic
and geometric concepts.
Unlike most programming tools, Bootstrap uses algebra as the vehicle for
creating images and animations. That means that concepts students encounter in Bootstrap
behave the exact same way that they do in math class.
Bootstrap lessons cover mathematical topics that range
from simple arithmetic expressions to the Pythagorean Theorem, Discrete Logic,
Function Composition and the Distance Formula.
