How can’t we get our hands on the book and how early? :)

YESS!

We encourage you to place any comments here.

Yan, should we turn on closed captioning?

Or was that something I should have done in google? oops!

It can be turned on for guest. Thanks Yan!

Thank you!

It has been turned on now, thanks.

Thanks for this!

My mistake -- I had thought it was automatically enabled.

We encourage you to place any questions here as well.

can we access to resources?

resources are in the development stage at the moment

thanks

That's an amazing group of educators!

What is the difference between 'novel' and 'graphic novel'?

This is such an amazing project!! Is it appropriate for upper elementary students. If so, could you suggest ways to make it more accessible to elementary students?

What is your targeted audience and distribution method to reach that audience?

Lily-- would you like to speak first? Or Shanti?

Thank you!

a picture worth 1000 words!

I will go 2nd

I am planning on purchasing 50 books to use with my Exploring Computer Science classes. Is there a study guide to go with the book that I can use with my students?

cool. thanks!

You can learn more about the book, rewatch the video trailer, and pre-order at poweronbook.com

Have you done any metrics on the impact of using this resource, or have you considered adding how to do such to the study guide so that individual educators can see (and demonstrate to purse-string holders) the impact of the book?

(This is my jam; my master's was assessing the impact of anti-bigotry efforts in a college setting)

Will this recording be available later?

Yes!

TY!

it is very good idea graphic novel but it have to target the major issues and try to connect the students in meaning, I guess most studnets like that

This can be answered afterward/offline: I would be interested in at least discussing (or more) assessing metrics. steven@stevesaus.com

I thinks right now students need a clarifying kind of book or novel to torch the unclear road for them

With respect to widening the reach and impact: Have you considered deploying your graphic novel and resources with a transmedia learning approach?

Is there a link to more info about the novel and how it can be purchased?

I work with a Chicago Public School math teacher to teach a unit about how AI tech can enforce systems of power. I'm really excited to include this book into our unit! Can you mention if there are grants available for purchasing copies for the students?

Thanks Michelle!

I am excited to see how the students will be able to identify with the stories that will be presented. I look forward to engaging my students and my children in reading this graphic novel.

Hi, this is very interesting! I’m a PhD Candidate studying computer science at Auburn University, AL currently researching Education for elementary students especially for under-resourced schools and underrepresented groups. I’ll like to reach out to y’all to discuss further. Please leave me an email address I can contact. Here’s mine: ora0002@auburn.edu

What a powerful collaboration!

Comics are complex texts — check out https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Comics-Invisible-Scott-McCloud/dp/006097625X

That's Good!

Love the Netflix series idea

There's has been a question about the books' accessibility-- for students with disabilities.

Have you created connection to NSF BPC requirement? And CIS huge grant?

We’d love to hear your ideas! Email us at poweronbook@gmail.com

audio book?

This was great!

Q: How do u expect Power to change the mindset of CS teachers? Seems to me this is the weak link here ..

Translated in Spanish, Mandarin? (Sorry if I missed the answer to this question)

That is part of the assessment portion.

Jane, who is the Village? Still same mindset roadblocks since we are at the White House together.

Q: r u planning to produce a graphics novel targeted to CS/tech teachers?

please unmute

Hyejeong, you need to unmute yourself to speak--you should have received a prompt.

Oh, that was meant as a comment, not a question. My apologies. I am emailing y'all about that right now.

If anyone wants to stay one for a minute for any debrief, I can stop the recording but you can stay on and wait for attendees to file out.

I can stay

I can also hang around after

I also want to add that a graphic novel can only do so much, and that is why we are so excited about collaborating with educators on an educator guide! Teachers are key to the effort to shift minds, and we all are always working hard to grow and learn regardless of our ages

Could you add Microsoft TEALS support and interns in the classroom to build on the village?

Okay cool; I did not wish to steal focus.

I passed the book url to a contact of mine at the Rhode Island Department of Education. I work with them as an industry mentor for hs students interested in cs. Best wishes, the idea is fantastic.

Fantastic, webinar!

Great Job!!!! ACM Education DEI Team
