Oy. I woudln’t want to stop tutoring so I could work on materials because there is *nothing* like having the student’s brain right there figuring things out to remind you what you’re doing and why, but I could use another hour or two in the day… (the following will be a typical “blogging between students” […]

Yes, I emailed all my Parkland College Graphic Arts teachers to show them that those Graphic Design skills pay off but no, I’m not quitting the day job ;). However, I am thinking about where to go with math and animated interactive lessons… perhaps a proposal for a concept-based math module like the one we’re […]

Okay, okay, I really honestly thought I *had* to get the grand prize. After all, **I** was the only entrant with the talking robots. Actual quality be darned! But it is 1:02 p.m. and I must maintain my vow of Actually Taking LUnch. More soon… http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/edtechresearcher/2012/08/what_if_khan_academy_was_made_in_japan_mtt2k_grand_prize.html

Whew! It’s the second Monday and yes, I need to come in and hit the ground running from 9-10… at which point everybody gets sent away and a class comes in. Today I did sneak next door and animate for 15 minutes on the hour … with the hope of having something bloggable SOON… […]

… I’m pleased that I have been able to take the “Part to whole” idea from this article in NCSALL Focus on Basics and work it into tutoring. I’ve got a couple of folks in the technical math class who are struggling a bit at figuring out what operation to do… they didn’t have […]

Had the first JavaScript class tonight – seems 24 folks did sign up for t, tho’ only 21 chairs were filled. I sat in the middle this time so my hyperattentive tendencies would be less likely to get me into trouble… it’s going to be fun, I think — but I don’t think my head […]

I didn’t get my animation of interval notation done, and now the students AARE BACK…. and so I explain and draw, individually, and see how interactive animated stuff would be so handy… except that when I can see that most clearly is when I’m so busy with students that I dont’ have time to do […]

… somebody else does it, too 🙂 https://sites.google.com/site/taylorspolynomials/series/openbar … and gets in those classic mathy puns (sounds obtuse… that’s a cute way to put it…) … He has an entry into #mtt2k, too, which is quite pithy. Yes, the lesson he picked has basic errors (says “inverse” when he means reciprocal) and the sloppy language […]

I toyed with making oh, a dozen more critiques of Khan Academy videos… starting with addition… but I think I’ll just mention a few pedagogical issues I have (a.k.a. “trashing” to some). I remember loving spelling lessons. THere were always a few exceptions in there and I’d analyze them to death and figure out […]
