Introducing our Executive for this year:
Janice Parsons - President
I am teaching CS 10-30 regular and AP at Jasper Place High School. I am running clubs for Robotics, Cybersecurity and Competitive Programming. I have my finger in the E-Sports world by allowing a club/team to run out of my lab.
Shelley Gramlich - I am a teacher in Blackgold, at Thorsby High School. I have been teaching some form of CS since 2000. I began under the Information Processing umbrella, teaching Visual Basic, HTML and C++ but as the program evolved, I moved to Java and now some Python. My school is small, so I get to teach coding to junior high students along with the high school groups.
Colin Veldkamp - Most recently, I have been teaching Computing Science at Harry Ainlay High School. He is known for Gaming Library/ Self-Paced Classroom.
Margaret-Ruth Jones - (we'll catch up with her next newsletter)
James Chow - I am a teacher of Computer Science 10-30 at Western Canada High School in Calgary. I have a background in Engineering and love problem based programming in C++, JAVA, and Python. I am also an item writer for the University of Waterloo's Canadian Computing Competition (Junior Competition).
Maria Cutumisu - I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology, Faculty of Education, at the University of Alberta in the area of Measurement, Evaluation, and Data Science and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta.
