April 2008 - I had each student record 90-second messages on how their family celebrates a particular cultural holiday.
I comment about my life and opinions in my eJournal and images every single day.
The University of Minnesota, Morris, Computer Science discipline arranged to donate 31 old computers to PCs for People, an organization based in St. Paul, Minnesota, whose mission is "To create new opportunities by providing personal computers and education to people who have limited experience with technology due to social, physical and/or economic circumstances." These photos are from when PCs for People arrived with a big truck to pick up the gear.

Here's an interesting approach to a library computer lab: orient the rows of computers in a big two-sided X. You can't fit as many computers in, compared to the usual rows-of-computers approach, but it's easier for students to collaborate and for instructors to circulate and interact with students.

January 8, 2012 (Sunday) - Another full day of teaching at BCIT but a little lab practice at the end.
In July of 2005 when I joined Flickr, I expanded my online presence by uploading a DAILY image to this special photo set. Ever since, I've faithfully added one per day. Doing this provides a direct record of my personal experiences. Of course, I started daily blogging in the fall of 2003 and my eJournal and images entries continue every single day as well.
Description: This photograph shows the interior of the Computer center in the main building of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in the early 1990's. The Minneapolis College of Art and Design was previously named the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts from 1886-1909 and the Minneapolis School of Art from 1910-1969.

Dankzij een mobiel computerlab, van stroom voorzien door zonnepanelen, kunnen kinderen in Tanzania nu echte IT-ervaring opdoen met laptops en een printer. Dat brengt de jongeren basiskennis die ze nodig hebben om te kunnen doorstromen naar hoger onderwijs. Vaak leren kinderen in het Afrikaanse land alleen vanaf een schoolbord omgaan met computers. Leraren krijten een desktop en randapparatuur en wijzen de belangrijkste onderdelen aan.
GW students can access software, color printing and scanning in the Academic Technologies computer lab located in room B05.

So yes, we have two computers just so we can both flickr at the same time. Notice both screens are on flickr.
Prof. Stephane Lafortune EECS Lab where students conduct research in Discrete Event Systems (DES), including modeling, analysis, supervisory control, optimal control, and diagnosis of this class of dynamical systems. They are also working on the applications of DES in computer and communication systems and in software. Members of Prof. Lafortune's lab discuss and analyze various coding scenarios and sequences.

We all had a great time in our first Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. I taught this course with co-instructor Donald Day at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 16, 2016.
A diverse group of ten students joined the class, including artists, technologists and people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents. My partner Geo Monley and our friend Howard Rheingold also helped mentor the students during the hands-on sessions.
We started the class at 6pm, with an introduction to the popular Arduino processor, which is used by millions of hobbyists and makers around the world. We then showed people how to make lights blink and play sounds with their Arduinos, alternating between short presentations and hands-on experimentation.
Students seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. We’re really happy that this first class went so well and look forward to our next two classes.

We all arrive on Sunday night for the week's workshop. After a long day of travelling we enjoy some of Dagstuhl's exceptional food, meet with folks, and catch up.
And then we (or at least quite a few of us) get to work. This was taken at 9:30pm, and there were quite a few people in this lab at the time. And there's another lab, and the library, and people's rooms. I'm sure that lots of folks were also hanging out in the coffee room or playing pool, but there were a lot of people working on a Sunday night as well.
It helps if you enjoy your work, and most of these folks are extraordinarily interesting in what they're studying.
========
While I'm at Dagstuhl this year I'm going to try (amidst all the "real" work) to capture something of what the workshop is like and, more generally, what it is to do (computer) science. This is hard because it's not flashy high-action bull-riding kind of work, but it's important, significant work and deserves to be documented. I'm just going to have work harder at it.
I'm also probably going to take more people pictures than I would be naturally inclined to. If anyone finds themself in a photo here and objects, let me know and I'd be happy to remove it.
Kate and I are big fans of Miyazaki's "My Neighbour Totoro". Knowing this, a friend of ours (Rob Phall) brought me back some Totoro phone-bling from a recent trip he made to Tokyo. In the UK phone-bling is more usually associated with teenage girls but who cares, I think it looks great. But imagine my surprise when I went to lunch with two work friends (Richard Banks and Murray Sim) and Richard put his phone on the table and he also had Totoro phone-bling that his wife had bought him years ago! Needless to say the tree spirits all had a good time together while we chatted about Murray's internship project. Thanks to Murray for the photos.
I'm honoured to be helping Cecily with her dissertation : David and I reviewed her 2nd year PhD report. On the way back from chatting the results through with Alan I thought it would be great to stop and take today's self-portrait.
It's also a kind of mini-homage to Sir Cam's less personal photo of the same building:

Angeline, 12, works in the computer lab at the Thomas Food Project in Thomas, Haiti. She says she wants to be able to write and research because there are a lot of things she wants to know. The program is part of a United Methodist Communications effort to use technology for development. A UMNS photo by Mike DuBose.
March 2007 - Students are working taking our department's placement exam.
