- I maintain a blog for high school computer science teachers called
Computer Science Teacher at
blogs.msdn. The focus of it is hints,
tips, and useful information for teachers of computer science in K-12 but
mostly high school. It
may be interesting to students as well. I hope so.
- My Social Computing blog called
Cyberspace People Watcher
is at Windows Live Spaces. There I discuss my thoughts around blogging, online
community and related topics. I also link to interesting article and blogs
from there. BTW If you are looking for a good free blog site be sure to
check out Windows Live Spaces.
- I have a somewhat social (relaxed)
blog at
theSpoke.net. That site is aimed at
students for the most part though there are a lot of non-students there as
well. I tend to blog about what is happening in my life as well as some
technical information pieces.
- I blog about education in general at
On10.net. My direct blog link is
here but an aggregate of a
number of education blogs is contained in
Education at On10.
Elsewhere on the Internet
- DotNet A set of projects and other
resources on the general topic of teaching with Visual Studio .NET.
- TeachVB
A collection of links and pointers useful to teachers who teach Visual Basic
programming. VB is my idea of an ideal first programming language for high
school and younger students.
- Fiction I recently decided to try my hand at
writing fiction. While I want to write the great American novel I thought it
might be a good idea to start with short stories. Here I will post some of
them as I write them. Not that I expect anyone to read them but, hey, why
not?
- Essays
I use essay writing as a way to get ideas clear in my own mind. Since I
believe that one benefits from sharing ones ideas and opinions and from
receiving feedback from others, I have chosen to "publish" some of my essays
on the Internet. I have also included pointers to some essays by other
writers who have said things I agree with far better then I could have
myself. I haven't written any new essays in a while. Most of what used
to go into essays now goes into blogs.
- Resume
Resumes are generally boring things. Mine is probably no exception. I
include it here for a number of reasons. One being that I wanted to
experiment with hypertextizing (is that a word?) an existing document. The
second being that I may want to point someone to it in the event an
interesting job turns up in conversation. And of course, this is the World
Wide Web so there is no telling who might show up, read my resume and decide
that I am perfect for a project they have in mind. If you are involved in
the business of mixing computers and education take a look. This in not your
ordinary set of experience.
- Volunteer
Work There are too many things in the world that need done to only do
what one is paid to do. This reference points to a list of the unpaid,
volunteer work that involves taking a leadership role. It is by no means all
inclusive but highlights a few things that I am proud to have been involved
with.
- Flypaper
Page An experimental page where I've listed a few people who I have lost
touch with in hopes that they will find me while looking for references to
themselves in various search tools. It's been years and so far this has not
worked at all. I have found more "lost" friends through
LinkedIn than
anything else.
- Friends on
the Web A few interesting people I know who have interesting Web pages.
My Books
Interested in learning or teaching Visual Basic? These are links to the
textbooks I have written. From left to right they are newest to oldest.
