]]> 2009-11-02T00:00:00-05:00 With a $2.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the College of Computing has launched "Operation Reboot." The program pairs a laid-off IT professional with an existing high school teacher for at least one year, allowing the IT professional to learn the ins and outs of a classroom, and the teacher to get an education in IT. "We will transform these IT workers' identity into that of a computing teacher," said Barbara Ericson, director of computer-science outreach for the College. Source: Computerworld
