Labor Day weekend in the US. A four day weekend and I am exhausted from it. Maybe I need to get back to school to rest up. OK not really but it has been a busy weekend. Lots to do around the house as well as some quality time with my son on golf courses. Plus – bonus – some good time with my grandson. Fortunately I collected links before the weekend started.
First off a couple of “in case you missed it” links to important announcements I blogged about last week:- CSTA Now Accepting Applications for Cutler-Bell Prize for HS Students (Us Only for now)
- NCWIT Aspirations in Computing 2016 for US HS Girls interested in computing and technology.
- Call for proposals now open for the 2016 CSTA Annual Conference
- The Bebras Challenge. Besides that link, Doug Peterson has a good description at A Challenging Proposition
Last week I added blogs to my Computer Science Education blog roll including @AJudkis @AngelaYake @KTOCompSci @kellytechclass These are teachers from the pilot adapting Harvard’s CS50 course to AP CS Principles.

Building your own Windows 10 Web Browser It’s easier than you might think. Maybe a good way to motivate some students.
Coding for the Common Core: 15 iPad Coding Apps for K-5+ I think I have most of these listed elsewhere but there are some that are new to me.
Introduction to LMC 'Little Man Computer'. Great way to explore the 'Fetch-execute cycle'
