    2012 Microsoft Research Faculty Summit Day Two

    Posted 10 months ago
    by
    Rick Rashid who created and runs Microsoft Research gave the opening keynote for day two. I found it interesting that when they started Microsoft Research they had a hard time recruiting top researchers. Twenty years ago Microsoft was still a relatively small company and there were doubts in some people’s minds that MSR (or even Microsoft) would amount to much. Things sure have changed! Rick also talked about a lot of “new, exciting hardware and software advances that are contributing to a simpler, more natural integration of the physical and virtual worlds”.  And there sure are a lot of cool...

    New Curriculum Resources for App Development on Windows 8

    Posted 10 months ago
    by
    Most of what I post about is specifically for K-12 computer science education but I recently received the following about some curriculum designed for university level students. Still my experience tells me two things. One is that I do have a good number of university lever readers. And two there are teachers and schools and students in some high schools who can and do take every advantage of materials targeted at older students. So here you go: Just a quick note to let you know that the following three university level courses are now available on Faculty Connection.  The courses are modular...

    I had a great week and a great weekend. Busy weekend with family which is the best way to spend the weekend. I’m late with today’s posts though but hopefully you’ll all forgive me. The Microsoft Research Faculty Summit has put many of the talks from last week online. It’s not all heavy technology. Social awareness was a big theme this year. For example Research in Focus: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: The Role of Technology in Human Trafficking talks about using technology to fight human trafficking. And the Day 2 Closing Keynote: Rivers of Ice: Vanishing Glaciers of the Greater Himalaya was...
