School vacation week for me this week. Trying to get some work done around the house, relax a bit, grade a bunch and of course plan for the rest of the semester. Also continue the long term thinking I am doing about curriculum in general. (Posted about this over the weekend at Looking At Curriculum From Different Angles in case you missed it the comments add the real value.) I’d also like to remind people that they can subscribe via RSS using http://feeds.feedburner.com/ComputerScienceTeacher as the RSS feed or use the box on the right of this page to sign up for email updates as they happen.

ANX.Framework (ANX's not XNA... but kind of) is new at Channel 9. It talks about a new project to create an open source replacement for XNA that will be updated and maintained. Looks interesting for anyone invested in XNA.
