I am the CSSA program director of the SSU program, which is a collaboration with the SSU CS Department, SSU STEM Teacher Education Pathways (STEP) Center, and the CSU’s Math and Science Teacher Initiative (MSTI) program.

I recently completed a summer writing program supported by the IntroCS POGIL Project (NSF Award 1626765). It was the most productive writing programs I have ever encountered, in part due to the summer-long duration and its responsive mentorship and review teams.
The results of that work have been released as a special edition of the POGIL Activity Clearinghouse: PAC Vol. 3, No. 4. Five of my activities were accepted through peer review into the issue. (Again, it was a very productive writing program!)
I am delighted to have an activity accepted into the CSU QLT's QuARRY (Quality Assurance Resource Repository).
The activity uses Google Jamboard and was developed for my computer logic and organization class on the topic of function prologues/epilogues in ARM assembly.
Mark Gondree, "Small Group Activity using Jamboard", developed 6/22/2021, accepted into QuARRy 1/5/2022.
