Kathi Fisler from Brown University discusses Brown’s undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA) program, where they hired UTAs to specifically focus on finding ways to do just that in the classes they were embedded in. In this episode, we talk about the program, how she teaches socially responsible computing in her intro computer science (CS) classes, and how her goal is to get students to ask the right questions.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3ep11_critically_conscious_computing/Mon, 03 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3ep11_critically_conscious_computing/Episode Summary This episode features Amy Ko et al.’s online book Critically Conscious Computing: Methods for Secondary Education. We discuss with Amy what is in the book, who the book is for, and how educators can use the book in their own teaching. The book focuses on contextualizing the history of computer science and how that history shows that computing is not neutral. In addition, it provides unit sketches to help teachers bring in more design critical conscious discussion into how they teach CS that will hopefully help all of our students better understand how computing affects our world.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e8_alliance_for_identity_inclusive_computing_education/Mon, 06 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/s3e8_alliance_for_identity_inclusive_computing_education/Episode Summary AIICE stands for Alliance for Identity Inclusive Computing Education. It is an organization dedicated to “empowering the next generation of computer scientists by eliminating systemic barriers.” This episode is with Dr. Shaundra (Shani) B. Daily, Ph.D., the backbone director of the organization. We discuss how she and her Co-PI, Dr. Nicki Washington, Ph.D., and past podcast guest, wrote the grant that started it all, how we should stop trying to “fix” students, that we should instead focus on fixing the systems that “requires” “fixing” students, and about their 3C program, a professional development program that is part of trying to make systemic change.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_episode4/Mon, 06 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season3_episode4/Today’s episode is with Richard Ladner from AccessComputing and AccessCSforAll, Professor Emeritus from the University of Washington. Our discussion focuses on accessibility. How do we improve accessibility in our teaching? What do AccessComputing and AccessCSforAll do? And how do we be considerate of our students that are hard of hearing, blind, or have some other accessibility need? Edited by Michael Ball You can also download this episode directly. Transcript Kristin [00:10] Hello and welcome to the CSED Podcast, a podcast where we talk about teaching computer science with computer science educators.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode5/Mon, 01 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode5/In this episode, we talk to Leigh Ann DeLyser, co-founder and executive director of CSforAll. Our topic is the need to reform systems for sustainable equity. We discuss what it means and what CSforAll does. We also discussed the specific difficulties our host, Kristin Stephens-Martinez, has with her CS1 class and how it’s actually a systems problem. You can also download this episode directly. Transcript Kristin [00:00]: Hello and welcome to the CS-Ed Podcast.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode4/Mon, 15 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode4/Joining us today is Joe Feldman, author of Grading for Equity and the CEO of Crescendo Education Group. We discuss the historical overview of grading and why now is a good time to rethink our grading process to make it more equitable. We got concrete by discussing our host’s, Kristin Stephens-Martinez’s, syllabus for her class and changes she was considering after reading Grading for Equity. One significant point Joe made is that grades should only convey the student’s level of mastery, not their behavior.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode3/Mon, 01 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode3/In this episode, we talk with Nicki Washington, a full Professor of the Practice at Duke University, about cultural competence. We discuss the definition of cultural competence. Its history, why we should care, and what it means in the context of computer science. We also talked about Nicki’s new class on this topic and her 3C Fellows program. Finally, we close with a call to action. Many people and organizations have started learning, reading, and making commitments.https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode1/Mon, 04 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://csedpodcast.org/blog/season2_episode1/In this episode, we talk with Manuel Pérez-Quiñones, a Professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Our topic is supporting students of color. We discussed why this support matters and the differences between professors versus students and equality versus equity. We also discussed how he changed his grading practices for his remote class. He even shared about changing his syllabus to specification grading, which he reflects on in his blog now that the semester is over.
