Changes

For my professional development, I want to find out how to teach and learn open source development. It is a privilege and honor for me to get ''immersed'' in the open source movement at Seneca. From '''January - April 2009''', [[User:JAnastasiade | Jordan Anastasaide]] has graciously allowed me to go alongside with his '''Eclipse Web Tools Platform (Eclipse WTP)''' class such that I may have ''first-hand experience'' on open-source development. I am excited about immersing myself in this culture of ''being open'' in fixing bugs. As suggested by Jordan, I am going to [http://pliu.wordpress.com/ blog ] what I have experienced in this community as if I were a reporter on the field. What I have experienced for the last two weeks has already affected how I teach JAC444 and BTP400 this semester. Indeed I am using wikis as a teaching and learning tool for the first time in my teaching career... <br/>

Time flies again. I am now involved with the '''Eclipse Linux Tools''' project. As a result of After inviting Andrew Overholt's visit (RedHat) to speak to the students in my Java classes (JAC444) on '''March 9, 2010''', I have created [[Learning Labs for Eclipse Linux Tools]]. Even though the JAC444 classes will be over by the end of April, interested students can continue with the activities in the Learning Labs. We will see how things are going to unfold...
