To test things for teaching Data Structures, I asked ChatGPT to generate a Binary Search Tree that can insert and find items.

It did, no problem.

It was for integers only, so I asked it to make it templated.
It did, no problem.

I asked if the code had memory leaks.

It found them and generated code to fix them.

Interesting times, indeed.

In March, I'll be a panelist at the Embedded Ethics Conference (on ethics education in computing) at Stanford. There's a really nice line-up of speakers! #csed #computerscience #techethics

Our Gender Balance in Computing research programme has been the largest effort to date to explore ways to encourage more girls and young women to engage with #Computing and #CSEd in school. @suesentance@twitter.com tells you what we've found out: http://rpf.io/blog-gbic-sum

Clear your calendars on Oct 9-11th, 2023 for the Constructionism conference! www.constructionismconf.org #makerEd #CSEd #constructionism

A while ago I created this little Processing sketch as a programming question for an intro class. I still find it lovely and relaxing to play with it. Feel free to give it a try if you need a momentary pleasant diversion. 🏙️

Sums it up well. #koli22 was very educational and very fun. Meet so many great people and learned of some really interesting work. Thank you everyone! From organizers to fellow attendees for such a fantastic experience! #CSEd #CSEducation

Making simple, fun, pretty things with Python's turtles module for first-year programming exercises is a small source of joy. #python #CSed

#introduction time!

I'm a #professor in #computerscience at the University of Manitoba in #Winnipeg. My research spans #HCI and #CSEd. I have three areas of focus in HCI: technology and #aging, #creativity (creativity support tools, measurement and arts+tech), and #virtualworld design.

I co-chair SIGCHI CARES. #cares

I am a #dog and #cat mom, and love #sewing, #baking, #cricut, #gardening. I love playing around with technology that lets me be creative, like #processing and #midjourney AI.

I should post an introduction!

I am a researcher at the meeting point of the bleeding edge, the past we've wounded for said edge, and disaster.

I am currently working to better integrate technology with emergency management and disaster so that #hci and #crisisinformatics can get noticed.

This work falls into #sts, #csed, #cscw, #emergencymanagement, #hci, #roleplaying, #nonaturaldiasters, and a bunch more.

2022 has been the year of working on my mental health for the first time in 44 years

#Introduction: I'm an assistant teaching professor at the #UWiSchool. I teach #programming.

I'm creating a class and online textbook: Social Media, Ethics, and Automation. Students learn social media phenomena (e.g., viral memes, parasocial relationships, harassment campaigns), experiment with computer programs (e.g., bots, data mining programs, recommendation algorithms), and apply ethics frameworks (e.g., Taoism, virtue ethics, Ubuntu ethics).
