Huge congratulations to Brian Harvey and Dan Garcia on receiving the 2024 ACM Service Award!

Together with Jens Mönig @moenig they laid the foundation for Snap!, the visual programming language that powers TurtleStitch. Their work has enabled creative coding and learning experiences around the world—and we’re proud to build on it!
Thank you! 💙

@SusanNotess and I wrote a new online textbook!

Social Media, Ethics, and Automation

We teach people who have never programmed before to write social media bots, and then think about the ethics of what they've just done.

Hey good luck to everyone working on finishing up #SIGCSE2024 papers this week! I'm really excited to see new #CSeducation work in the spring. :)

Also for the record I decided to break my sabbatical rule to not review papers, and signed up to review for SIGCSE. They are really, really hurting for reviewers, so if you know anything about CS education, consider volunteering to review, it may not be too late: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI

Google DocsSIGCSE 2024 - Reviewers & Associate Program Chair InterestOne of the most important aspects of the SIGCSE Technical Symposium is the volunteer reviewers who provide feedback on submissions to the various tracks of the symposium. We need many people to step up to review the paper, workshop, panel, and special session submissions during round 1 in late summer 2023, and Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF), poster, demo, lightning talk, student research competition, and nifty assignment submissions during round 2 in the fall. We invite you to share your interest in reviewing or serving as an Associate Program Chair (APC) for SIGCSE TS 2024. APCs write meta reviews and facilitate conversations between the reviewers. From these conversations, the APCs make recommendations to the Program Chairs about accepting or rejecting papers on the main track. We will likely also need APCs for workshop, panel, special session, poster, and BOF reviews. We'll follow up with a more formal confirmation in July. Paper reviewers have traditionally reviewed 3–4 submissions; we welcome reviewers willing to review more. Paper APCs typically review between 8-9 submissions. Since other tracks often involve shorter submissions, we will ask, but not require, reviewers to review more than 3–4. Reviewers are expected to review the guidelines, spend appropriate time reading submissions, prepare helpful reviews, and participate in discussions. The timeline for reviewers of Round 1 submissions (Papers, Panels, Special Sessions, and Workshops) will be: - Complete EasyChair profile: July 2023 - Bid on abstracts (papers): Early August - Bid on abstracts (other submissions): Mid August - Review Deadline: Early of September - Discussion: Early September - APC Recommendation Deadline: End of September The timeline for reviewers of Round 2 submissions (ACM Student Research Competition, BoFs, Demos, Lightning Talks, Nifty Assignments, and Posters) - Review: Late October - Early November - Track chairs may follow up with more detailed timelines that could include a short period for bidding and discussion in this window. Thank you so much for contributing your expertise and time to the SIGCSE Community! We can't pull this off without your help. Lina Battestilli Samuel A.

Today I said goodbye to Twitter (at least until things... doubtful... improve), and I think #TwitterMigration will increase, so another introduction!

I'm an information science professor who researches #techethics #aiethics #onlinecommunities #hci #cseducation and #fandom (also, at least once, all of those things at the same time!)

I also do a lot of science communication (and occasional silliness) on #TikTok (@professorcasey) and my #YouTube (CaseyFieslerPhD) is full of #gradschool advice!

#introduction

I am a Senior Lecturer and researcher interested in machine learning and computer vision approaches as a tool to aid in rehabilitation, diagnosis, and accessibility.

As an educator, I am interested in perspectives from both academia and industry. I want to provide students with the tools and confidence to pursue whatever avenue they are most interested in.

I'm also interested in fostering diversity in #cseducation through listening and understanding.
