At the bottom of this page is the “Accepted Manuscript” (AM) version of an article that I co-authored with Helen Zhang and Fahd Abdus-Sabur in TechTrends, titled “Making time to grow: An instructional design case from eight in-school and six out-of-school computer-supported plant-growing projects.”
Just above that AM is the pre-print of an article I co-authored in Computer Science Education with Yihong Cheng, “Maintaining pluralism when embedding computational thinking in required science and engineering classes with young adolescents“.
In the spirit of my dissertation defense being “public”, I uploaded my slideshow and an audio recording of the defense. The manuscript is available on ProQuest, and two of the three papers have since been published: one in the International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, and the other in Frontiers in Education.
Four articles are available free of charge, at their respective sites:
