I am an adjunct instructor in the
Computer Science Department
at Millersville University.
Computer Science is part of the School of Science and Mathematics at MU. I own Told in a Garden which publishes Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum's needlework designs. I describe my various other activities on my Comcast web page. My informal biography has more info about me. |

I am currently president of the Lancaster County Apple Corps.
I am very involved with scouting ( Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts ), needlework, and astronomy groups. Look to my Comcast page for details and links for those activities. I also enjoy taking astronomical and meteorological pictures. My image of a portion of a rainbow wheel was the August 7, 2011 Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD web site). I also have many pictures in my gallery at Solar Terrestrial Dispatch. |

I'm a strong proponent of teaching functions and iterative enhancement early. But I'm not so sure about teaching writing of objects before students understand sequencing, functions, conditions, loops, and arrays. Understanding abstraction is key but also difficult.
Pair programming is a good way to work collaboratively. I usually offer it as an option in my courses.
