AP CS A must evolve with discipline regarding Content and Pedagogy

• AP CS A must reflect introductory college-level courses, and both the content and the pedagogy of those courses change
• General discussion of change in the next session on How AP CS A Matches College Courses

This session: The GridWorld Case Study, Labs, and Adapting to Change

• Consider motivations, advantages of case studies
• Identify limitations of case studies
• Explore use of labs as means to achieve advantages while mitigating disadvantages
• Consider three new labs under consideration for AP CS A, perhaps for 2014-2015 (but certainly NOT for 2013-2014!)
