I am currently a Professor of Scientific Computing at Florida State University where I have developed and taught many courses in the field.  These include both face-to-face courses as well as online courses.   Previously I was a Professor of Mathematics at other state universities.  I have also developed  enrichment modules for use in early education.  I feel that this country is not doing enough to educate our children in the area of Computational Thinking, which is a critical skill for the 21st century.  For this reason I am creating some online courses to help students acquire these skills.
