My name is Bill MacKenty, and I teach middle and high school computer science and IB computer science at the American School of Warsaw. I also teach MYP design 6 and product design 1 to middle school students. As a lifelong geek, I enthusiastically share my pas*ion, energy and expertise about programming and computers. There is nothing more satisfying than watching a kid get it. I've served as a senior leader in educational technology, and worked for many years in educational technology. What really floats my boat is teaching and coding. I am a web-application developer, specializing in creating customized web-based applications that provide superb service. I develop and administrate on the LAMP stack, and I am experienced using Expression Engine. I have been accepted into Georgia Institute of Technology Online Master's of Science in computer science program. My specialization will be in interactive intelligence. My area of interest is creating intelligent machine-learning based authentic as*essment. There has been very exciting work done in this area by special research groups at Microsoft and Facebook. I truly believe only a professional educator can create the right kind of system in this space. I am insatiably curious, devoted to learning, never satisfied, and always looking to improve. I am especially interested in supporting Below I list salient details about my education, and professional development. This page is meant to provide Bill at-a-glance. Led by CS50 staff, I learned how to teach CS50 computer science Continued to grow the computer science program at ASW. Built an additional entry-level course designing solutions through programming for 9th and 10th graders. Substantially added content and learning experiences for students on computersciencewiki.org. All students were exposed to industry-leading tools and practices such as the bootstrap framework and working on the Linux command line framework, I designed and built a comprehensive currciulum. The course orbits around five big strands: computational thinking, computing
