Planning Grant: Computing Educators Oral History Project

这个项目为扩展和完善计算机教育者口述历史项目的规划阶段提供支持。计算机教育者口述历史项目是计算机教育者社区多年来的基层努力，旨在创建计算机教育者的历史记录，作为该领域的灵感和信息来源，并保存该领域先驱的历史。该项目制定了为期3-5年的计划，将充分发展口述历史收集的技术和知识组成部分，并计划向广泛的用户社区推广。智力价值：该项目将保留计算机教育先驱的叙述，并创建一个知识库，用于对他们的职业道路进行专题研究。它满足了对一个发展良好、用户可访问的集合的关键需求，该集合既关注计算机教育者的历史，也关注该人口中未被充分代表的群体。更广泛的影响：计算机教育家口述历史系列可以通过提供相关的榜样故事来鼓励未来的计算机专业学生。它将允许历史学家研究早期计算机教育先驱的道路。像这样的项目可以在增加进入和留在计算机行业，特别是计算机教育行业的人数方面发挥关键作用。

This project provides support for a planning phase to extend and refine the Computing Educator Oral History project. The Computing Educator Oral History project is a multi-year grassroots effort within the computing educator community to create a historical record of computing educators to serve as a source of inspiration and information for the field and to preserve the history of the field's pioneers. This project develops plans for a 3-5 year period which will fully develop both the technical and intellectual components oral history collection as well plans for outreach to a broad user community. Intellectual Merit: This project will preserve the narratives of pioneers in computing education and create a repository for doing thematic studies of their career pathways. It fills a critical need for a well developed, user-accessible collection that focuses both on the history of computing educators and on the underrepresented groups within that population.Broader Impact: The Computing Educator Oral History collection may encourage prospective computing students through providing relevant role model stories. It will allow historians to study pathways of early pioneers in computing education. Project such as this one can play a key role in increasing the population of people entering and staying in computing careers, particularly computing education careers.
