Rice PLT TeachScheme Project: Talks

The TeachScheme Project

Talks

This page organizes several talks we have given on our project. Many of these talks were first given at the Texas Computer Educators Association (TCEA) meetings, then at other venues.

Secondary School Computer Science Education: An Innovative Approach 1997 (very brief introduction)
Mastering the AP CS Curriculum Without Using C++ 1998 (an alternate route to AP CS mastery)
Algebra is Good Programming 1998 (the deep connection between programming and math)
The TeachScheme! Project 1999 (project overview; more language details) [PowerPoint format]
How to Produce the Best OO Programmers 2000 (project overview; more about relationship to CS2) [PowerPoint format]

For high school audiences, we recommend The TeachScheme! Project. For university audiences, we recommend How to Produce the Best OO Programmers. The latter has been given as an invited talk at the University of Chicago, the University of Nice, Duke University's First Year Instruction 2000 Workshop, and other venues.
