Computing in the Modern World Resources
Textbooks teachers are using:
Discovering Computers 2009 Complete (ISBN 13:978-1-4239-1198-2 and ISBN 10: 1-4239-1198-9) with on-line materials
Discovering Computers: Fundamentals, Fourth Edition (ISBN 13: 978-1-4239-1209-5 and ISBN 10: 1-4239-1209-8)
However, neither of these covers the programming part of the standards. You can use Scratch, Alice, or LEGO robots to cover that part. For more
