It's as good a day as any to leave Twitter. The world has bigger problems, but like stopping eating animals, getting off Twitter is clearly the right thing to do and costs me very little. I'll be working over the next week on migrating, prob to Indieweb and Mastadon. Bye.

[Chris Proctor @thispettypace]

@IsaakDeMaio In the words of @isaakdemaio, Let's go! I'll post my migration route here once I figure it out. But first I need to get all caught up with my classes and research sigh.

@VicariousLee yeah

“The major problems of this manuscript is that the authors failed to use quantitative tools… Consequently, this manuscript is full of not-so-convincing verbal discussions. This is THE most important issue this reviewer would like to point out.”

[Chris Proctor @thispettypace]

@MiaSShaw :/ The main conversation here isn't about me, but my ethnography-curious ears pricked up at all this self-definition of CS Ed. Declaring qual methods illegitimate means presuming the validity of existing constructs and ruling out conceptual/paradigmatic change.

[Chris Proctor @thispettypace]

"As a result, their results are not very convincing and this type of CSED researcher had a tendency to reject quantitative based work. What a pity!”

[Chris Proctor @thispettypace]

"A quantitative approach is much more convincing than a verbal summary. Unfortunately, in recent years more CSED researchers aimed for qualitative approaches rather than quantitative approaches."

@aj_alvero I miss our conversations. Stay safe, and looking forward to next time I see you.

@MiaSShaw When I came back for a PhD, the library still remembered I had $52 in overdue fees though.

[Chris Proctor @thispettypace]

@horn_michael Can you share anything about the approach you all are taking?

[Chris Proctor @thispettypace]

I have some different sincerely-held beliefs.

@CstaMichigan @thegrene I'm told Buffalo is on the edge of the midwest. Either way, can't wait!

[CSTA Michigan @CstaMichigan]

What: An unconference experience planned for you, by representatives of ten different Midwestern CSTA Chapters
Where: Virtual (HopIn)
Anyone with an interest in K-12 CS Education is welcome, even if you are not from the best part of the country

@VicariousLee PAPPG, while very specific about vertical spacing, is silent on horizontal spacing. Reviewers tend to appreciate the increased information density.

I'll never feel the same about ketchup.
