Hot-off-the-presses video about Bootstrap, featuring one of our terrific Oklahoma teachers. It's so exciting to see how far we've come after over 4 years of intentional partnership building in Oklahoma! Funded by U.S. National Science Foundation as part of RPPforCS

Teaching w/o whiteboards in spring. Have MacAir, iPad, Apple pencil. Want to livecode (IntelliJ) and annotate the code while projecting via HDMI. Possible? Is this what Astropad Standard supports? Other ideas? (have Quicktime for side-by-side IDE/draw, just need to annotate code)

Trying to decide whether I feel more daunted by a pre-enrollment of 520 or a TA staff of 60. New course to boot (an updated CS2). I'll be ready by next Wednesday, I'll be ready by next Wednesday, I'll be ready ...

Recording this was fun! I talk about data science education from the perspectives of Bootstrap (K-12), our Data-Centric intro to Computing curriculum (univ), and connections to socially-responsible computing (part of Brown CS). A blend of ideas on theory and practice.

Excited to have joined the Editorial Board for Communications of the ACM, to handle contributed articles on Computing Education (along with Sally Fincher). Our goal is to strengthen the reputation of CSEd within the broader CS community by showcasing the best of what we're learning in CSEd.

I often think "I wish I knew how to do that" when I see what comes out of this group. Should be a fun way to experience what CS research is like.

Note to self: releasing grades to 450 students and sending 157 paper notifications (as a conference chair) on the same day does not do one's inbox any good ...

We're looking forward to participating in #SXSWEDU if everything works out. If you like what we do, support us with a vote!

When I have a lot of pieces of (research) info to organize, I write the pieces on diff color post-its and move them around a whiteboard. Any digital tool recos for something like this other than Jamboards (which lack export of organized data)?

Fantastic and detailed writeup of how we ran hybrid ICER this year (I said we, but it was really Matthias Hauswirth and his incredible team of volunteers who pulled it off).

Why did the kid have to turn out to (a) be a fan of death metal and (b) like working next to me (c) without wearing headphones?

#ICER2023 in Chicago this summer -- we're looking forward to hearing about great work folks have been doing! Abstracts due Mar 17, submissions Mar 24.

CSEds: ever done a study where you gather some data as part of a course assignment and some data with students outside of the course, but only paid the outside students (on grounds that ones in course are getting assignment credit instead)? Asking wrt IRB.

We're doing qualitative coding. For each top-level code in a category, we also select multiple modifier tags (think "pos/neg sentiment", "examples yes/no", etc.). The end result is exponential blowup of code combinations. What is an appropriate measure of inter-coder reliability?
