Cengage 2015
Lots going on at the Cengage Conference this year. Here are my presentations:
Introducing Big Data into the Digital Literacy Curriculum
Last year at ISECON, I gave a workshop about teaching Big Data to introductory IT students. Here’s an updated and slightly simplified version of the exercise we did in that workshop, modified for a class I taught last summer. Download the exercise.
This year, my paper summarized the lesson presented to students and shared student impressions of the importance of learning about Big Data.
Next week, Bentley is holding a research colloquium where I am sharing similar ideas about ways to introduce Big Data topics to introductory students. Here’s my poster.
Student Learning in the CIS Studio
I presented at a Symposium on Innovative Social Learning Spaces at the EdMedia conference in Finland last week. The topic was creating the CIS Sandbox and CIS Studio at Bentley. Here are my slides.

Shaping up to be a Busy Summer
I enjoy speaking with teachers and educators about technology, and have several opportunities this summer:
June 6 – NERCOMP Every College has a computer lab SIG
June 10-14 – Cypress Fairbanks Rigor, Relevance, Relationships Conference, Texas – teaching about flipped classroom pedagogy and techniques
July 29-31 Campus Technology Conference in Boston – I’m giving a workshop on flipped classroom and a session on tools for teaching big data concepts.
I look forward to meeting you there!
Welcome to Class! Please Take Out Your Cell Phones (and Tablets)!
I’m speaking today at NERCOMP’s SIG on BYO-WHAT : The Challenges and Solutions in Supporting Mobile Devices on Campus. My topic is integrating mobile devices in the classroom.
George Claffey from Charter Oak College began the day pointing out the issue around supporting mobile devices in the classroom is not the number of people, but the number of devices per person. Students have laptops, phones, tablets, maybe e-readers. It used to be that one IP address per person was sufficient, but school infrastructures need to handle this increased use of the number of mobile devices.
