I think I like days this long. Feelslike being alive 🙂 I put up my “rough draft 3” which still sucks hind teat on a barren possum but learning curves are like that. Rode out in the 15 … no, it only said that on the weather channel, it was closer to 20… mph winds. […]

… impossible to tell whether this is wasted time or not, trying to do the non-mathy part of the project. Um, the stoopid simple process for grabbing the important part of the image is still … evading me. So there’s white around my rolling pin. Still, I think I’m taking advantage of it Being An […]

So, Ed Ted, or is it Ted Ed, and MIT are putting it “out there” and encouraging people to post their videos or nominate others… I ‘nominated’ my absolute value video just to see what happens.

Projects are due next THursday, but then it’s time to plan how to apply skills acquired and resources available to Make Something Amazing Happen. I ordered “Design for how people LEarn ” because the little cartoons over at http://usablelearning.wordpress.com/ are so inspiring. So much of “content area expert” stuff applies to math teachers. There’s a […]

So I was thinking of the gamification of math, and that a huge honking bonus could be given for shooting *down* the wrong answer – the Primary Misconception answer. And also of the “visual formula” – an animated icon that can be associated with a kind of math problem that steers you towards the proper […]

… so, the presentation went well enough at both conference and class to inspire me to dash off a request for being included in our grant request… but too late. (I wasn’t anything like ready until the conference.) However, I’ve graduated from “don’t call us, we’ll call you” to “call us again, later.” My animation […]

I’ve been thinking about my 2D animation class Project 3, and how much like a bunch of disorganized almost paragraphs it is.
