(Yup, I’m hesitating right now before jumping off the 10M diving board of making a list of scores. Well, as we said in the Water Safety Instructor class at the U of Delaware, which had a huge ceramic tile image of the mascot — “blue hen” — at the shallow end, “Look at the […]

I was stuck (like, all-day-hours-and-nuthin-to-show) and went to the sink at 5:00 and said, “okay, I need some magic to get me unstuck.” Magic answered, “Go back to your desk and give it another try.” And I went back and got unstuck. Except now I have to take the things that are unstuck […]

I *hope* it’s still cold in front of my all new expensive windows because it’s blowing 40mph winds out there, not because well, they installed the windows and ended up compromising the old insulation. Note to self: when I make *my* tutorial, when Shared Preferences happen, it will be with ONE THING the first […]

So my older, purple tablet is getting harder and harder to charge — the contact between charger cable and the tablet isn’t great. I pretty much have to arrange it in a drawer so it’s wedged against something to maintain the contact and charge it. When I’m trying out my app, I have […]

Student couldn’t *quite* remember how she had remembered why you can’t divide by zero, and she started by saying “I knew 0 / 9 was zero because …” and she drew a 9 and the “gazinta” and the 0, and yes, you could put a “zero” on top and do standard long division. So, […]

http://mrnussbaum.com/orderops/ has a really nifty game with learnign the order of operations. Oops. It has a nice game for practicing OOP if you already know them. You get presented with a problem with all four operations and parentheses, and you figure out one step at a time. Cool! I thought. So I highlighted […]

(really must spend a little more time with The HOuse, though…) It’s helpful in my teacher role to be spending this time in the learner role, which is a little bit like the student role except that one has the constraints of a classroom and teacher and syllabus and what have you. There is no […]
