I was honored to be invited to a wonderful NSF sponsored workshop-confernece in New York City on April 8th and 9th. The workshop was centered on bringing computer science into Colleges of Education around the country. In total there were about 30 attendees and I was representing both the College of Education at The University of Texas at Austin as well as the UTeach Natural Sciences Program which I co-founded as well as my involvement with a number of charter schools and public school districts. Overall, it was an excellent workshop, met some new colleagues and reconnected with some old colleagues. Exciting to be part of this national effort and the possibility of some external funding for pursuing research and development in this important and evolving area of not only college education but the entire K-16 trajectory. -Dr. Petrosino  I n order to address critical questions related to the integration of computing education into schools of education, together computer scie...

Pesach Samayach (Happy Passover) to all who celebrate the holiday. Sending everyone, happy Spring love.

It commemorates the story of the Exodus as described in the Hebrew Bible especially in the Book of Exodus , in which the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt. 

I taught at St. Anthony's HS in Jersey City from 1984 to 1987.
