1. Programming Through the Arts: Pre-AP Strategies in Computer Science and Math Fondren Reforming Schools Summer Institute VI July 28, 2004 Karen North, Westside High School Pamela Ossorio, The Rice School Houston ISD, Houston, Texas Technology Teachers

2. “According to S.C.A.N.S. report, our students will need to be creative thinking, decision making, problem solving, analytical, self-teaching, and reasoning citizens. This will require classrooms where students invent their answers and construct their knowledge within learning experiences that are crafted by creative teachers who do far less lecturing and far more facilitating and consulting.” from “Raw Materials for the Mind: Information, Technology, and Teaching & Learning in the 21st Century” by David Warlick
