What was “control 0” in Eclipse to “organize imports” seems to be “alt enter” in IntelliJIdea. Happily, when it gave me the red “error, don’t know what this is!” font, it also said “alt enter” in a little callout, and when I did that the import happened. Have I mentioned that computer programming is a […]

http://www.neutralcycle.com/introducing-chambana-bike/ Oops, that has nothing to do with it but it’s really cool. One of our local bike businesses has got 50 single speed ‘minimalist’ bikes that they will rent for *** $69 **** a semester. (Erm, yes, they’re smart enough to want a deposit, too.) They’ll maintain the bike. Think […]

Yup, I’ve had students for help pretty much from just after 8 to 5:00 this end of the week. It’s the usual diverse bunch of individuals that would make a *great* milieu sitcom/drama (but no thank you, reality tv, let’s just not). Yes, a fair number of professional self-deprecators with classic fixed mindset […]

The first couple of semesters with ALEKS, I noticed that even though students didn’t *like* it, they did it… and Pavlov and SKinner were grinning in their graves because yes, they would get pretty much fixated on Getting Their Pieces Of Pie. Last year … it just wasn’t as true. ALEKS has made some revisions. […]

SO there ya go — the math literacy course uses online resources, including a little “learning styles” inventory. THen there are scores and stuff you do with those scores. Complication: well, the site with the learning inventory updated it so teh scores aren’t done the same way any more. Solution: give the students the instructions […]

I mean, almost *really* at the beginning of the semester! I just tried to send an email from Outlook to a coworker and … oh, the server is unavailable. I was able to send an email to *myself* from my gmail account, so it seems that the whole “cloud” thing with Office 365 is Not […]

http://marilynburnsmathblog.com/wordpress/four-strikes-and-youre-out/ I remember getting an email of a recipe for key lime pie from a cycling buddy. It was a masterpiece, and I recognized that it would never make it in a cookbook, because space is at such a premium. She could include things like “just leave the eggs out. Your grandma used to do […]

It seems that I could start a “class notebook” from that app in Office 365 (a “OneNote” branch), and … it has all the email addresses of all the students and staff at Parkland. Hacker-hair-at-back-of-neck going up. HOwever, that *would* mean that I could create a “common ground” for a group of students interested in, […]

I can’t remember how I found these rules sometime last year — they’re at http://lisacongdon.com/blog/2013/02/sister-corita-kents-art-department-rules/ RULE ONE: Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for awhile. RULE TWO: General duties of a student — pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students. RULE THREE: General duties of […]
