Hi everyone, I have a bachelor in Computer Science (graduated 2004) and I'm currently finishing a Master in Education at York University (total time: 1 year). My supervisor is advising me to do a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, that she will give me a letter of recommendation and introduce me to people there. I have plenty of experience with databases and programming, so I can always go back to that. Currently my research is in video games for learning, and issues in gender and technology. I haven't met with the professors in UoW, but I have been thinking hard about this opportunity. What are the advantages of a PhD in Comp Science? vs my current experience + MEd? I would love to keep working in games for education, and/or research into gender and technology. I would also love to meet anyone in a PhD on Comp Science in UoW if there is any! Thanks!

wow, almost no one for York University? Hi everyone, I'm going to York for my Master in Education this Fall 2012! Graduated from Computer Science in Venezuela more than 6 years ago, this is going to be a very interesting experience

Hi everyone! Been lurking around in the forums for a month or so and decided it's time to say hi!... I just told my boss this week that I'm working until the end of August, to then dedicate full time to my Masters. He tells me he'll miss me pretty much every day, and asks me if he can convince me to stay. This is going to be so hard!! I want to leave now but need the $$ and I also have someone that I like making it more difficult. I feel supported just reading everyone here
