What’s in a name?
January 2nd, 2008 Posted by John in website
One of the best things about a life in academia is that it begins fresh every few months. Each semester there are new courses, new students, and new pedagogical challenges. And when your focus is computing, your topic is a moving target. So while we are guided by certain core principles, we must also continually evolve our knowledge and the strategies for communicating that knowledge to students. I suspect that all computing educators worthy of the name make changes to their courses almost every time they are offered. Thus the name New Syllabus.
That, and I was trying to find a decent URL and something that would pass a corporate name search.
I think I’ll add a version of this post to the new About page (sticking with the pedagogical slant).
