Thursday morning ...

It's Thursday already, wow it flying by -- Tom Cortina provided a most interesting and engaging experience with the group, it's fun watching people "be" a binary digit (bit), and binary birthday cake, and even a parallel sorting exercise outside (the weather really cooperated) -- I get the sense that people might be able to incorporate CS Unplugged exercises into their classes, albeit indirectly.

Well, I introduced today as "CS Plugged" -- my friend Dan Falabella visited from Albright College and is presenting a much more technical, but more realistic, experience with computing that students will expect.  Dan is exploring how to use media to get students to think computationally.  Right now the group is trying to make sense of what we in computing call "state."  Wow, they are passionate group -- nice, Dan is connecting the discussion to Tom's exercise about binary representation yesterday.
