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.

Teaching Big Data
Here’s an activity using Google Big Query that I presented at ISECON 2013. BigDataWorkshopISECON2013
Discovering Computers 2014
I joined the authoring team for Discovering Computers in time to work on the 2014 edition over the past year. The book was shipped to the Cengage Conference in San Diego so it would be available here. It was cool to see my name on the inside front conver as a contributing author.
Drinking from the Fire Hose
I presented Drinking from the Fire Hose: Tools for Analyzing and Teaching Big Data at the Cengage Conference today.
My presentation is below, and thanks to Ryan Norris who shared his slides with me from his presentation at the CIS Sandbox a few weeks ago. I would have never thought to begin a talk on Big Data by talking about Kevin Bacon.
