The two-parameter substring method often confuses Java learners. #TeamCompSci #CSEd #APCSA

I love the posters and the way the tables are set up. What a lovely classroom! 😊

Haha, some people jokingly say "pedestrian zing" instead of crossing.

Here, the northern states and California go back later - in September and end the school year in mid to late June. Growing up, we always started Sept and went until the end of June. But where I live now we start early and end early. I prefer the latter.

Here they force the digital appliances to say "AM" and "PM".

whoa! I go back end of next week. Summer went by fast.

I am sorry for your loss ☹️

Another thoughtful response to the NYT article on teaching CS in the age of AI. #TeamCompSci #CSed

This is just one more tech tool. We'll see new jobs emerge just like when the PC came out in the 80s. Many people now have roles that didn’t exist back then because of advances in tech. Some of us gained new skillsets. No different than what will happen now. In the end we'll be OK! (2/2)

I like your optimism! I agree... I see a lot of panic and posts made from a place of fear with many teachers worried about being replaced or something like that. Tech advancements are nothing new. Some will adapt. Others will not and stick to old ways. Skilled people will always be needed. (1/2)

I used a programming PBL approach based on how I wish I had learned programming and it seemed to work well. But now with AI, I need to adapt. I feel many students now seem more focused on grades and points earned than the process of learning and turn to AI. (2/2)

I liked your idea in the fb group to have groups of students represent procedures that when they come together, they solve a larger problem. I can't think of any good activities that would do that, though. (1/2)

This is a thoughtful response to the @nytimes.com article advocating calling on US education systems to make computer science and artificial intelligence mandatory components of K12 schooling (original article here: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/t...) #TeamCompSci

I wish we used the metric system more widely, here. That and 24-hour time (military time).

The 2025 AP Computer Science A (Java) Exam scores:
5: 25%; 4: 22%; 3: 20%; 2: 10%; 1: 23%.

AP Computer Science A MCQs: strong performance on primitive types, Boolean expressions, and if statements (units 1 & 3); 44% of students earned 7-8 of these 8 points.

Same-ish...! (Although my 1st language was Logo followed by BASIC and then structured BASIC before Pascal.) #TeamCompSci

For me it was on an IBM clone like a Gateway. Probably running a 486? I think this was in 1993.

I first saw Pascal when I was in 8th grade! I took the 1995 AP CS exam in Pascal.

Alan Turing: Creator of modern computing A timeline of the great achievements and extraordinary private life of British mathematician Alan Turing

Today is Alan Turing's 113th birthday. We've all heard of him, he's on the £50 note, but what did he actually do? #TeamCompSci

16 billion passwords exposed in record-breaking data breach: are you affected? This is a colossal breach involving 16 billion exposed credentials — possibly the G.O.A.T. of all data breaches.

I prefer scoring from home too! Sadly, I wasn't picked this year. (I am a reader for AP CSA)

Hi Dan! Thank you, that's so nice of you! PTSOS has always been so generous to all. The PTSOS meetings were always my happy place. You guys "saved me" from corporate America (remember that?) I will always be grateful for those Saturday meetings!

@the-physics-well.net Wow, thank you so much! PTSOS meetings have always been my happy place since 2016. You guys "saved me" from corporate America :) I miss PTSOS very much. <3 #iTeachPhysics

I saw a similar video the other day but it was a cat, instead. Its "jelly beans" were lit up. 🐾🤎
