Mike Karlin, PhD (he/they)

Last weekend, 15 @CSUDHLBS & Teacher Ed pre-service teachers attended the CA STEAM Symposium. @CDEfoundation in partnership w/ @Google, funded our students to go to the largest STEAM conference in the state. They were accompanied by 2 other groups from @uclaseis & @COECalStateLA

The Math & Science Teacher Initiative--in partnership w/ @csulongbeach's @CSULBSciMath--held the 2nd annual Justice-Oriented Teaching in Science & Computer Science Classrooms conference this past Saturday. With over 50 attendees, the conference was a big success!👏 Thanks to all!

🤖@csudhsite at @DominguezHills is working w/ the @cityofcarson_ca's Parks & Recreation to offer free activities through Project CODER (Computing Opportunities for Discovery and Engagement through Robotics). Program runs from 9/9 to 10/11. See flyer for full details & to sign-up!

Congrats to Dr. @ProfKarlin, Director of the Snap Inc. Institute for Technology and Education (@csudhsite) and to the entire SITE staff on the huge success of the 3-week @STEMFromDance camp held this summer during July and August. And big kudos to all of the 21 participants! 👏

The @CSUDHEducation team enjoyed presenting at the @csteachersorg conference. We shared our positive experiences of co-designing a hands-on robotic event with @186thSt 4th grade teachers to teach computer science and bring joy to students and teachers.

We’re so grateful our @CSUDHEducation preservice teachers had the opportunity to lead a series of computer science, robotics, and programming challenges with 4th grade students at @186thSt - such a wonderful partnership and such a joyful day for all involved!

Our @CSUDHEducation preservice teachers spent the last 2 weeks leading a series of coding and robotics activities with kindergarten students and teachers at @186thSt and did SUCH a phenomenal job. So grateful for this partnership & all the opportunities our future teachers have!

@lacoe_ito Grateful for such a wonderful opportunity to share the work we’re doing at @csudhsite and @CSUDHEducation! Thank you Scott and the @lacoe_ito team!

Thank you @GavinNewsom & @LuzRivas for championing #AB1251 to address credentialing pathways & expand the computer science teacher pool 🎉 Building the capacity & pipeline of teachers is an important step towards increasing #equity and #access for #CSEd.

A huge shoutout to our @CSUDHEducation preservice teacher volunteers & the wonderful @DrMinaiy for leading robotics & computer science activities for 500+ high school students who visited campus to explore career pathways as part of @DominguezHills’ partnership w/ @EXPfutureorg

We're launching a curated Opinion column, for scholarly discussion about computing ed research. Our first is from the excellent @moniqueross, who writes about epistemological inclusion in our field— it's a concise, potent, must-read for the field. doi.org/10.1145/3578270

@vickiebananas I usually use NVivo and love it.... it's not free, but I've found that many institutions have a subscription through the Academic Technology office where students, faculty, and staff can request a license. They also have "Collaboration Cloud" for teams

Question for qual researchers: Do you have any fave (preferably free) software to analyze qual data? Bonus for ability to collab #AcademicChatter Context: I'd like the ability to tag individual text responses w multiple codes, be able to view all responses by code, etc. TIA!

@swati1201 @Fresno_State @FresnoKremenEdu So very happy for you and so well-deserved! Congratulations!!

@lkervin @UOWEarlyStart @UOWASSH @ManteiJessica @jillcastek Ah! The perfect exhibit to see on your trip here!

Exploring play from a different perspective at Getty- in Medieval times play was a time to learn skills, experience romance, establish social hierarchies, learn to compete and have fun. Serious business indeed! @UOWEarlyStart @UOWASSH @ManteiJessica @jillcastek #play
