Some of you probably saw this story in the IT section of the Age:<br><a href="http://www.theage.com.au/it-pro/business-it/high-schools-to-trial-uni-computer-science-in-y12-20120719-22c99.html" target="_blank">http://www.theage.com.au/it-pro/business-it/high-schools-to-trial-uni-computer-science-in-y12-20120719-22c99.html</a><br><br>
Unfortunately, the journalist recounted my/our aspirations for<br>
computer science in schools as if it was all a done deal. As I told<br>
her, we don't have any firm plans for school-based activities. It was<br>
frustrating to see that telling a story was more important than<br>
getting the basic facts correct!<br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
