1 The Oracle Academy Supports 1.5 million students in 95 countries Delivers a complete portfolio of software, curriculum, training, support and certification resources Helps students develop industryrelevant skills prior to entering the workforce Prepares students for Oracle Certification Provides access to the same technologies that drive industry Supports secondary and post-secondary schools to integrate Oracle technology and curriculum into computer science, engineering and business curricula Oracle Corporation

2 Oracle s Unique Position Oracle technologies are #1 in more than 50 product categories/industries Oracle is the steward of Java, one of the top programming languages We are uniquely positioned to help educators awaken and deepen students interest in CS/engineering Oracle Corporation

3 Introduction to Computer Science: New Java Curriculum Two New Semester Courses: Extensive Teacher Training and Highly Structured Student Curriculum For secondary schools, technical schools, and early university years. Oracle Academy Java Fundamentals Oracle Academy Java Programming Storytelling with Alice Games with Greenfoot Also available as 1-day training events for primary, lower secondary, and secondary teachers Semester Courses Prepare Students for Java Certification Java curriculum launch in 2012, after completion of global teacher training pilots Oracle Corporation

4 Java Fundamentals Course Semester-long course map Alice, Greenfoot, and Eclipse IDEs Animations, games, and applications Learn basics of Java technology and the Java programming language Implement Java technology programming and object-oriented (OO) concepts in Java programs Oracle Corporation

5 Java Programming Course Semester-long course map Eclipse IDE Uses GridWorld to prepare for US AP Computer Science A exam Create applications that leverage object-oriented features of Java Expands on fundamental concepts Oracle Corporation

6 Java Fundamentals and Programming Professional Development Media-rich virtual and in-class Project learning approach Authentic learning environment that promotes autonomy and teamwork Covers account administration and everything needed to run courses at school Forums and chat sessions Led by qualified instructor Oracle Corporation

7 Benefits Complete out-of-the-box hosted curriculum in Oracle ilearning Account management & reporting tools Curriculum includes: Lessons Instructor notes Student homework and solutions Projects and solutions Assessments (quizzes, midterm, final) Self-paced workforce development Oracle Corporation

8 Benefits (cont.) Media-rich courses: Examples and sample code Videos and audio reviews Reinforced topics Courses support preparation for: AP Computer Science A exam Java SE7 Programmer I certification Oracle Corporation

9 Getting Started with Alice 3 Curriculum Separate one-day in-class workshop Teachers from any subject Teachers learn to: Associate animation activity to Java Recognize sequential vs. simultaneous actions Generate instructions with arguments Execute, test, and enhance program statements Demonstrate effective programming with comments Oracle Corporation

10 Getting Started with Alice 3 Curriculum (cont.) Goals: Broaden teachers programming knowledge Incorporate programming and animation creation into any academic subject Integrate IT into classroom experience Learn how to solve problems in a fun way using animations Oracle Corporation

11 Explore Alice 3 Curriculum Students are introduced to key concepts while creating fun animations: Animation development process Classes and instances Positioning and object orientation Procedures and arguments Control statements Comments Functions Variables Expressions to perform math operations Keyboard controls Conditional loops for repetitive behavior Randomized motion Oracle Corporation

12 Explore Alice 3 Curriculum (cont.) Example 1: Dinosaurs Example 3: Robot Scene editor vs code editor Actor orientation in 3d modeling Procedures to move objects Programming comments Altering procedure values Example 5: Moon Project Example 2: Three Little Pigs Elaborate scene editing Sequences Do together Precision scene editing Object properties and opacity Example 4: Submarine Keyboard interaction - Applying knowledge Oracle Corporation

13 Getting Started with Greenfoot Curriculum Separate one-day in-class workshop Computer science and math teachers Teachers learn to: Define programming required to generate a game Develop methods for actions in the game Recognize sequential, simultaneous, and repetitive actions Execute, test, and enhance program statements Demonstrate effective programming with comments Oracle Corporation

14 Explore Greenfoot Curriculum Students validate Java knowledge and build on Alice concepts Additional concepts covered: Inheritance Using constructors Abstraction Arrays Store and concatenate Strings If-else statements new keyword While loops Logic operators Oracle Corporation

15 Explore Greenfoot Curriculum (cont.) Example 1: Fly And Frog Example 2: Duke Eats Code Example 3: Match Game Inheritance Create and call defined methods Program keyboard controls and sounds Switch between two images Use arrays Create classes & instances Check conditions using if statements Initialize variables Count number of objects eaten to stop (or win) game Store and concatenate strings Oracle Corporation
