So, last year I discovered scoop.it and found a nice number of interesting articles & web stuff about math education. I’d gotten away from it, though.

So! New Academic Year is beginning, with new adventures: the four-week “concept builder” module that I’m helping build, trying out Dreambox assuming we can get things rolling in time.

REally I’ve just got a tired brain. I dashed out to the bike shop and got back before the snow started sticking, and 10 miles on the bike is a nice wake-up. Actionscript just isn’t cooperating, though; I almost successfully made a blackjack game following the CS3 directions, successfully working around where the tutorial didn’t […]
