A Tad About Me

Enrollment in computing sciences courses and majors at the undergraduate level is critically low and increasing diversity in the computing disciplines is a national concern. The unifying theme of the rather significant body of literature regarding participation of women and minorities in computing, mathematics and science is that igniting excitement must begin in K-12 and requires a computing experience that is supportive, cooperative, extends beyond the classroom and in which all members develop confidence and competency. Yet, traditional computing pedagogy tends to scare off good writers and artistic designers because of the perception that computer science is programming. Much of my research and pedagogy is geared towards addressing these issues.
