The new K-12 Science Framework report from the National Research Council does mention CS, but doesn’t include it as part of the core framework. ACM Urges Inclusion of Computer Science in K12 Core Curriculum — Association for Computing Machinery
Although the National Research Council’s newly released Framework for K-12 Science Education provides a helpful next step in revising the existing scientific ideas and practices for all U.S. students to know by the end of high school, ACM is concerned that computing and computer science are not yet included as a core part of the framework for mathematics and science K-12 education despite substantial input from the computing community...
Your teaching and research activity partially leans on the assumption that students have different learning styles. But then someone tells you that learning styles don't exist. What?...
It’s Commencement time! So I thought I’d compile a list of 1010 10000 things I believe all ICS students should have done (by themselves) by the time they get their diplomas. With luck, students have come across some of these in courses...
Computer science is a hot major again. It had been in the doldrums after the dot-com bust a decade ago, but with the social media gold rush and the success of "The Social Network," computer science departments are transforming themselves to meet the demand. At Harvard, the size of the introductory computer science class has nearly quadrupled in five years.
A member of the SIGCSE mailing list asked the other day for recommendations on teaching a course on “HCI or Interaction Design.” We at Georgia Tech teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses like that, and I figured that lots of others...
Today's students have grown-up tech savvy. They live in a world of exploring the Web and of personalizing their devices. Cyberspace is the anytime, anywhere laboratory where you can design and run your own experiments by writing just a little software....
Alan Kay sent me a link to this interesting video. I hadn’t heard of the Ceibal Project before — according to the video, 100% of schoolchildren in Uruguay now have OLPC laptops, and 92% of the schools have Internet access.
There is no field with greater impact or leverage than computer science.

Thanks to Barry Brown for the link! The graphs in these articles really tell the story — highly recommended perusing: 
Considerable progress has been made toward the formation of a computing profession since we started tracking it in this column a decade ago.
El capítulo español de SIGCSE colabora con la AENUI (Asociación de Enseñantes Universitarios de la Informática) en la difusión mutua de anuncios de interés sobre la docencia en informática y, en particular, en la docencia universitaria en informática.

Are pointers and recursion the Latin and Greek of Computer Science?
Educators and technologists say films like “The Social Network” and celebrity entrepreneurs are inspiring more students to earn computer science degrees.
'You should not use introductory computer science courses as filters (to wash out students) but as launching pads.'...
