Introduction: Second Life Community Convention Posted: August 27, 2007 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog | Tags: education , events , second life | 2 Comments » I just returned from the Second Life Community Convention in Chicago. I really appreciate all of the wonderful people that I had the chance to meet (or smeet) or just spend time with. There wasn’t nearly enough time for all of the conversations that I wanted to have! There were a wide variety of presentations. We’ve come a long way since last year! The diversity of disciplines was astounding. I think the strongest work presented was in the sciences and medicine, and I was particularly impressed with the Second Health machinima. Here are the slides from my presentation on Experiential Learning: I’m hoping it inspires people to think about how we now have this capacity to create learning experiences that were simply never possible before. What do we do with it? How do we measure it?

Introduction: Teen Second Life College Fair Posted: October 24, 2007 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog | Tags: education , second life | 1 Comment » I was immensely privileged to participate in the first ever Teen Second Life College Fair. The event was on the Eye4You Alliance TSL island. At least 18 institutions were represented (see some of the booths in the image to the left), and approximately 200 teens attended. I gave a short presentation on my own educational experiences and the incredible possibilities for careers in technology, but my favorite part of the college fair was the casual conversations that took place outside of the sessions and in the booth area. We talked about everything from education in Europe vs the US to tagging to SL building and scripting to politics… you get the idea! For educators and recruiters, this was a fantastic event for connecting with young people who are excited, passionate, and resourceful. The students were able to t

Introduction: Should you attend Hadoop World? Yes.

I appreciate your page that you wrote up after attending last year’s event. I’m wondering if you feel that Hadoop has enough momentum and support to be a “here to stay” technology worth investing one’s time and education into, or is it possible it might fade and be deprecated by something else as the need for big data analysis continues to grow? … I’ve had a few similar conversation with people lately, and I thought posting my response might help others making similar decisions.

Introduction: Curriculum Design as Software Engineering Posted: August 19, 2007 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog | Tags: education | 1 Comment » This summer, I’ve been involved in the process of creating a new undergraduate curriculum essentially from scratch. I was reflecting back on this process, and I realized the development of a robust and relevant curriculum shares many attributes with the process of developing robust and functional software. Modern software development is a largely modular process. Each component of a system interacts with every other component through a defined interface. I see this same behavior in a degree program – each course has certain incoming requires and defined outcomes. Students navigate through a narrative of courses that must fit together to equal a bachelor’s degree. Unit testing is the practice of separating out each module in a software system and insuring that it functions correctly. The final system is will contain many

Introduction: Stop talking, start coding Posted: April 18, 2010 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog | 65 Comments » I read Out of the Loop in Silicon Valley in the NYTimes today, which explores how and why women are under-repesented in tech startups. From the number of retweets I saw and the clicks through bit.ly links (12,579 at the time of this posting), it’s been getting a lot of attention. There are some very strong, compelling themes in this article. Computer science and engineering to have an “image problem”; the way we teach math to elementary school students is horrible and turns way too many away. I don’t want to nitpick the article, but there are a few statements that reinforce the very damaging stereotypes that the article sets out to dispel. “When women take on the challenges of an engineering or computer science education in college, some studies suggest that they struggle against a distinct set of personal, psycho-social issues… Even women who soldier
