Since Jan. 3rd I’m visiting Virginia Tech as a Fulbright Scholar, and will be here for three months. In particular I’m working with Deborah Tatar and the members of her POET/Third Lab at the Computer Science Department.
It’s being an enriching and thoughtful experience in many ways! Besides working on my Fulbright project with Dr. Tatar, I’m participating in the lab meetings, a course on “developing computational thinking” that is associated to a research projects with schools, discussions with J.G. Alvarado (with whom I’m sharing the office) about micro-coordination, effect of technologies, and experimental design, and have given a talk for a research seminar.
Of course, I’m also enjoying a lot the atmosphere of the VT campus! Since Jan. 17th, when the Spring Semester started, Blacksburg is crowed with students, living in the many residence halls concentrated in a section of the campus, using the facilities that the campus offers them in a second section and attending their classes in another set of buildings placed in the third section of the campus. Enjoy some pictures that I’m sharing with you in this small “collage”!
