The future of computing education is in providing literacy to all: Video of SIGCSE 2019 Keynote now available

Here in the United States, it’s Thanksgiving week, so it’s a good time to put a cap on one of the events that I’m most thankful for this year.

My keynote at SIGCSE 2019, Computing Education as a Foundation for 21st Century Literacy, was recorded, but something went wrong with the audio. (That happens when the audio includes speaking, singing, harmonica, ukulele, and totally messed up digital sounds.) I reached out to Rebecca Quintana of U. Michigan’s Center for Academic Innovation, and they agreed to re-record my lecture in the studio with a professional engineer. It’s a series of smaller videos, rather than one long one hour video.

The crowdsourced blog post about the keynote is here, and my post with my many thanks is here. The slides are available here:

I fixed some typos and updated a bit the extended abstract associated with the talk. You can get the (non-paywalled) updated paper here.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
