Started the day with housekeeping and with door prizes. I won a prep book.

More lecture.
Evaluation time
Summary
For Dallas area people:
I would recommend Leon Schram to first year teacher’s, especially those with no computer science. Not a lot of hands on.
I would recommend Glen Martin at advanced teachers – but I couldn’t go to that one this year because it was at the same time as Early Start. Haven’t been for a few years, but was heavily hands on.
I personally want to go to a Stacy Armstrong workshop but I don’t like to pay hotel bills in the Houston area.
My absolute favorite place to go for AP Computer Science training is Carnegie Melon, or a workshop put on by the Chief Reader. Either one is an excellent choice, as they usually have the best new information.
