Our faculty and graduate students are spending the rest of the week at #AERA23. These EduGators are disseminating their research, building new connections and finding opportunities to collaborate across disciplines in unexpected ways. #GatorDay education.ufl.edu/aera23/

For those who, unlike me, are actually at the #AERA23 conference, our lab will be presenting a structured poster session on multiple entry points of instruction in neurodiverse classrooms. Lots of other great CS researchers in the session too. tinyurl.com/2j2jge6a

ncwit.org/news-events/re… Outstanding issue on accessibility and disability inclusion in computer science.

Spotted the Norman Hall hawk today.

Supported by a $100,000 grant from Google, UF researchers are working with Broward Schools to scale a proven professional development program designed to expand access to computer science for students with disabilities. ialt.education.ufl.edu/2023/05/15/sca…

news.ufl.edu/2023/04/human-… Old, but was remembering this story today.

Here's some work in action our lab is doing with partners to increase access to important CS skills, competencies, and opportunities.

We're looking for bold thinkers with innovative ideas about the future of education to join our highly collaborative educational technology graduate programs. Admitted students will work with experts in established and developing areas, including #AIatUF. education.ufl.edu/educational-te…

Excited to have received two SIGCSE poster acceptances, one as lead author. For the lead author one, reviewers were excited about the "clear and concise" innovative framework. Grateful for good mentorship and our amazing research/practice partners.

Pleased to present findings of teachers' perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust (POUR) analysis of VEX Robotics VEX123 at this week's #SIGCSE24. Maya Israel (she/her), Joanne Barrett, Kelly Thomas, and Jason McKenna, are co-authors. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

Presented findings of a study of teachers using the Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust (POUR) framework of @vexrobitics VEX 123 product at #SIGCSE24. Gives teachers a new way to implement accessibility from the start. CTRL @ UF

Besides the poster, I also presented on a panel sponsored by Google at #sigcse24 with fellow panelists and poster co-authors Maya Israeland Jason McKenna where we talked further about accessibility in computer science education.

Honored to have worked with Jason McKenna and his team. My work and comments on a #SIGCSE24 panel are included in his wrap-up.

apnews.com/article/blind-… Great project expanding opportunities for people to experience eclipses.

Congrats to my advisor / mentor Maya Israel (she/her) on selection for this award. Have learned a lot about research leadership since joining CTRL @ UF so well deserved.

Presented Critical Thinking Stealth Assessment, a digital game developed to teach critical thinking to secondary students, at the AECT conference co-written with Salah Esmaeiligoujar, Syed Hassan Tanvir, Assel Abdrakhmanova, and SeyedAhmad Rahimi, Ph.D. ;

On this #IDPWD2024, Maya Israel (she/her) and I are excited to report Google.org has awarded us $450,000 grant to integrate POUR with Google Blockly. Congrats to Google for their investment in teachers and learners as well as the other award winners.
