Grades are in and I officially start my teaching sabbatical from @umasscs (aka professional improvement fellowship - PIL) for the Spring. If you are wondering what a PIL is and what I will be working on (besides finishing a book) take a look at page 2. umassmsp.org/site/assets/fil…

.@csedweek is GLOBAL! Millions of students in more than 180 countries have played hundreds of #HourOfCode tutorials in more than 45 languages so far this week—and it's not over yet! Learning CS connects all the world's students ❤️💻🌎 hourofcode.com
I was nominated for this excellent award. I am humbled. Truly a great honor. I pledge to put the award to its goal and make something good out of it. My first is UPCS with ⁦@MsBird62⁩ and her outstanding CSP classes. All the help we can get! 👍🏻 umass.edu/ctl/manning-prize-…
