Well, online courses that use Connect, anyway. Student came in for help navigating music course. We managed to figure out how to get to the text and the specific sections — not intuitive. If you so much as blinked at the thing — or did anything else at all — you had the privilege […]

Remember this link: it’s the audio and handouts from an LDA conference presentation on math and learning disabilities. She does a great job of summarizing the big ideas and the need to integrate concepts and procedures. Alas, I still need to find the research showing how the emphasis for folks in special education is […]

I’m part of a project curating Open Educational Resources for adult ed. NCTM has an awesome site with awesome lessons on it. Oops, too bad so sad, the terms of use are totally “ours, ours, ours, do not fold bend or mutilate!” (Remember those punch cards, elders?) That approach is why I don’t care […]

I consciously tuned into the “anticipation of NEW SCHOOL YEAR” vibes and… last night had a full blown anxiety dream (helped I’m sure by the horrifyingly ominous news events). I enrolled in a full load of classes here… got to that first one and I was supposed to hand out the day’s assignment which […]

Just sayin’ it’s a lot less frustrating cranking out the “turn that equation into MathML and tweak a few things” than it is … figuring out workarounds with the limitations of the Canvas LMS. Because it just. sucks. The not being able to copy things whacks me down oh, every half hour or so. […]

The “session” listening to admins tell us how it’s going to be a great year is done. Boy-howdy, are they all 100% focused on the almighty dollar. The positives were in terms of “we got this many dollars in grants!” “We saved this many dollars with…” It’s up to us to keep […]
