Folks have been moved online so I hve no idea whether this “last 3 days before holiday” week will be busy or not. In years past I’ve had folks under “get done by holidays” deadlines (inwardly or outwardly imposed); I arrived 8:15 but nobody’s here yet đ As I pulled through the campus parking lot, […]

-Yes, I had 3-4 students ’til 5 (1 on zoom)… 3 zoomers, sometimes 2 at a time Friday … it’s pretty much the same people. Appalling state COVID numbers — 15,400 up from 12,800 from two other 12000 days … it went down to 11,000 ish Saturday. We shall stay open, though. If Sunshine can […]

Okay, I *am* an optimist. I’m easily infatuated with potential. I had about a 15 minute zoom call with “UDLPartners.” They’ve got a “Name it, Frame it, Tame it” video and the plan is to have “micro PD” videos — under 3 minutes. (Yes, we already speak the same language.) So now it’s time to […]

SO there’s a lady who knows to come to the lab when the tech doesn’t work. The Chem class has this whole protein building thing … that is Flash based. She got a New Computer because the old one wouldn’t do what was needed for other software, but of course it REJECTED all things Flash. […]

Even ALEKS can have a bit low-floor high-ceiling experience. “The ratio of blue to red marbles in a bag is 5 to 8” Now, if I remember right, previous renditions went right to “if there are 39 marbles in the bag, how many are blue?” and I’d teach them how to make a chart with […]

I’m putting questions together for tomorrow’s discussion of Chapter 5: Engagement as a license to learn. I’m reminded that in 2018, CAST revised their Universal Design for LEarning Guidelines. The handy chart had looked something like this: and the more active “checklist,” like the above… The new guidelines are radically different at several levels. … […]

“Phil on Ed Tech” interviewed Sal Khan at CanvasCon. I registered for it but couldn’t get into anything interesting so I inferred it was Big Corporate Entities talking at Big Institutions and bugged out. Wish I could remember the really cool online conference that had lounges and chat rooms and everything… Did Sal Khan think […]

I’m sorry. I seriously FAIL at GitHub. I’m supposed to be able to save a version so if I mess it up I can GO BACK to it. Except whenever I “go back” …. it just pulls up THE SAME MESSED UP THING. So basically I have to go back to the last time I […]

That chapter about “peer led” learning in _Failure to Disrupt_… maybe it’s what inspired me to go back to FreeCodeCamp to ask my question about how to do things to a div, when a div isn’t a variable. I ended up finding it via Google on a snarky reply telling the person asking that question […]
