online community, field sites, etc.

Been about 3 weeks since I blogged last, lets see...

  • Continued to work with John Britton about the online community; will be meeting with our Dean next week to discuss hardware support.
  • Continued discussion with Gates foundation folks, looks like we will be included in the teacher training proposed for June.
  • New school included in St Louis.
  • New teachers from African New Era Organization will attend Baltimore presentation (April 25-26).
  • NSF has funded a workshop on cultural diversity in computing; will be attending that (and hopefully recruiting some new collaborators) April 13-15 in Texas.
  • Found some errors in the HTML for the cultural background sections; fixed most.
  • Working with undergrad Garrett Smith on his use of Graffiti Grapher at the Boys and Girls Club. He will try to improve the software as well.
  • Working with undergrad Christina Wiegers on creating a save function for the pyramid tool, and conversion so it can output to the 3D printer.
