Slideshows
All of the A+ Computer Science Curriculum slideshows are PowerPoint format.
For each topic covered, I provide a power point slideshow that has definitions, explanations, diagrams, pictures, and java code with output. Most slide also have an additional notes page that provides added explanations and information. The slideshows can be printed as notes pages to provide a book layout. Students can add notes to the printed pages.
I post all of my presentations and example java files on my school's student server. Many of my students work ahead of the class and go through the power point slides and java examples on their own as they need them. I strongly encourage students to view the slides and examples before I go over them in class. Many of my students also take the slides and examples home and use them to study and review for tests and quizzes.
I only use the slides, notes, and java examples that I have created when teaching Computer Science at my school. My students have tremendous success at contests and on the AP exam. I do print the slides with notes pages that each student can make additional notes on the printed slides.
