CS Unplugged
The June 2011 PRISM newsletter has a lot of good material (as usual). As a former Computer Science major, I found one of the resources particularly interesting. CS Unplugged is a free website dedicated to teaching Computer Science topics WITHOUT A COMPUTER! It does so via various puzzles, games, and other activities.
There are many printable activities and a teacher's guide available on the site. They also offer a whole host of videos to help you integrate the activities into your classroom. The activities are aimed at Elementary school children, but I think they're great for any age kid (including me)!
