Computer Science Teacher

A few days ago I had a little problem.

The discussions about the future of computer science and of computer science education are unending.

CSTA 2026 was an excellent conference.

Today's opening keynote was all about the new PK-12 Computer Science Education Standards.

There is a lot of talk about networking at conferences like this.

It seems like robots are everywhere at CSTA in the exhibit hall.

CSTA 2026 didn’t start until noon today so I spent some time exploring.

Less than two weeks until the annual Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) Conference.

I think it is fair to say that I have had an eclectic career in computing.

Recently I was going through my memory box and I came across this button.

The tl;dr is simply this “We don’t teach physics in high school in order to create more professional physicists.”

One of the things I have been doing since retiring is baking bread.

Trying something new to me.

My friend Pat Yongpradit has a post on LinkedIn that got me thinking.

Artificial Intelligence has been big in the news the last few days.

There are a lot of Changes happening at code dot org The Slashdot article linked there lists several of them.

I recently shared at quote on Facebook: Unless our students know that we care, they will not learn from us.

Back before the personal computer age, computers had lights and toggle switches.

I remember the first time I was observed by a principal.

A friend of mine sent me a link to an opinion piece in the IEEE Spectrum - AI Coding Assistants Are Getting Worse –> Newer models are more prone to silent but deadly failure modes Are AI code generators getting worse?

BlueSky is the microblogging site for me these days.

The other day I ran into an interesting programming exercise on BlueSky.

Mark Guzdial posted a link to an interview with Jens Mönig.

Some of my readers who have been teaching Advanced Placement Computer Science (APCS) will remember the BigInt case study.

I’ve been writing some code for my own amusement the last few days.

Seems like several years now I have joked or perhaps half joked that there are no Computer Science Education Week greeting cards.
