I will not be at #CHI2024 (my dissertation defense last August was priority over the CHI deadline) but I did help a tiny bit with some final polishing/camera ready on Michele Newman's (#UWiSchool PhD student) first first-authored CHI paper, which received an honorable mention!

"I want it to talk like Darth Vader": Helping Children Construct Creative Self-Efficacy with Generative AI

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3613904.3642492

It's a cool #KidsTeamUW paper. Go talk to Michele! Tell her I said hi!

Yesterday, I defended my dissertation. Today, we discuss edits and then I go on a much-deserved vacation.

And do job search stuff.

It's happening. August 3rd, 10am, I defend this thing that's been kicking around my brain for about five years.

Got a 6-10yo future designer?

KidsTeam UW will have a full-day summer program from July 24 – 28, 2023, and 2x a week meetups after school on Tu/Th. We are especially interested in working with BIPOC & girls.

KidsTeam UW is fully hybrid now! http://kidsteam.ischool.uw.edu

#Informatics #ResearchMethods #UWiSchool grades submitted for Autumn 2022!

I am freeeeee! (For a few days until I return to prep for Winter special topics... updating my Learning Theories for Informatics with feedback from last year.)

#Teaching #HigherEdTeaching #EduTooters

Last of the groups did their research proposal presentations yesterday, so now we just wait for the final papers to come in. I'm seeing a lot of good ideas, questions, and reflections.

(But also that some people did not review the presentation tips slides... font sizes + contast, folks!)

And I can rest my sprained ankle by not going in to campus for a bit.

#Introduction: I'm an assistant teaching professor at the #UWiSchool. I teach #programming.

I'm creating a class and online textbook: Social Media, Ethics, and Automation. Students learn social media phenomena (e.g., viral memes, parasocial relationships, harassment campaigns), experiment with computer programs (e.g., bots, data mining programs, recommendation algorithms), and apply ethics frameworks (e.g., Taoism, virtue ethics, Ubuntu ethics).
