Rest-of-summer plans.

This month I am taking a class with Prof. Meier called "Technology and School Change." I am also finishing up my "Cognition and Learning" class. This makes for a busy month. Three case studies and a curriculum proposal.

In August there are no classes, so I'm going to try to make a lot of progress on my thesis. I'm also going to make a few long weekend trips to Boston, hopefully managing to see my friends and avoid my relatives. I will also spend a lot time studying Data Structures and Algorithms in Java. I am not kidding. This is going to be a concentrated effort, which will hopefully result in my knowing a great deal about Java before I have to take the class next semester. Maybe I'll even be able to make some general statements of dubious validity about the most effective way to teach programming.

On August 25th I'm attending a day long class taught by Edward Tufte. That will pretty much be the highlight of my entire summer (odd, I know). So, I have roughly two months to make myself smart enough to talk to Edward Tufte.
