Hello,

I was wondering if I could get some input from you all as to what middle
schools are "doing out there" in terms of middle school computer
curriculum. Ya know.... scope and sequence, etc.... I am writing and
making the computer program/curriculum here at my middle school. Right
now, the 6th graders have keyboarding and computer basics. From what I
understand, 6th grade here is required and the 7th and 8th grade will be
optional for the kids. I have ideas, but I would like to know what is
being done out there. My stress will be to try to make the classes as
much "problem solving" as possible.

Any help/ideas/suggestions/references that you can give would be greatly
appreciated! Thank you.
