Summer Honors Program, Day -1/12:

It's always great seeing the other professors the night before the program starts, since we live all over the globe and generally only get to pal around in person once a year.

It is extremely disappointing that the American fascists prevented our Icelandic philosophy professor from flying in this year for fear of randomly being arrested, detained, and deported. Glad that he is able to participate remotely with a local assistant in the classroom, but what a stupid and malevolent goddamned government we got saddled with.

Summer Honors Program, Day -2/12:

Off to my yearly ritual of teaching Computer Science to gifted high schoolers in Holdrege, NE! This year will be an electronics primer and lab, with the goal of building rudimentary digital cameras. I'm taking next summer off so I can finally take my wife to our honeymoon in Prague, so hoping I finish this year's program on a high note.

Used #MinecraftEdu to intro agile dev to my gr 12 computer science students this week. It is so much fun and so effective. I am very grateful to Scott Christianson for the original idea! This year’s town featured a secret passage through a painting that led to a communal house & garden

Made a mistake coding Part 1 of #AdventOfCode today and had to fix it. Then turns out that my initial error provided the solution for part 2

Does anyone still curate OPML files for sharing? I'm on the hunt for RSS feeds around Computer Science Education specifically. All age levels but finding higher education content on it is a mystery yet to me. #CompSciEd

Yes, it’s a textbook about #CompSciEd and #DevEd. What of that? I think it’s absolutely worth it for #WordPress and other #OpenSource skills.

I am so sore from last night...

...from grading programming assignments for like six hours straight.

#CompSciEd

I found myself inspired last night to start researching Masters of Computer Science Education online programs last night. Specifically the teaching of computer science is where I want to go. I see how this fits within #DevRel / developer education.

My undergrad work was in Business Education, which does include CIS/programming.

I may even consider going for the doctoral one day.

Recommendations on programs?

My AP CSP class did so well on their latest unit test that I had to create a tiered sticker prize system.
