Hi
I'm considering teaching computer science at the high school level. The typical subjects I may be involved in are
When I had a semester of high school computer science in the early 90s, the classroom had those IBM 286 / 386 machines (or similar) running MS-DOS on them and we programmed in Pascal. That was the typical set up back then I guess. So my question is what is the typical set up for today in the above two classes?
What hardware resources are typically found in modern computer science classroom? I think right now they have Chrome books in their existing class rooms. If they're going to be programming with Python and Java, would the hand-on lab experience with Chromebooks be enough?
Thanks!

- Computer Science Principles - I think Python is used, 9th grade student
- AP Computer Science A - I think Java is used, 10th / 11th / 12th graders.
