We wrapped up our geogebra; people wnat to do it again next year. Next thing on my calendar math related is “twitter math camp” which is actually a 501c3.   The person at the table who didn’t get into tMc  had not, I believe, been aware that the window of opportunity was 36 hours.   I’m contemplating […]

Day 1 of the Geogebra 2-day workshop in. Lots and lots observed and learned. I remembered from Animation that … trying to follow w/ computer splits my brain and I do better watching, thinking, taking actual notes … and then *doing* stuff later.   Plus much was stuff I already know. All every bit of that […]

First of 8 four day weeks and this year I get all 8 (often vacation falls on the first of them).  It’s like a secret Sabbath 😉 Yesterday I distracted w/  a D2L webinar about “motion infographics,” a.k.a. animated GIFS — that thing I want to do w/ math concepts.   Well, they used Maya and […]

… So I’m starting this 🙂 Guitar is in reasonable tune. B, D, and E   on staff… and I’m encouraged to “say and play.”   I’m transported to childhood and “CDE in a tree full of apples as can be… CBA likes to play, in the meadow by the hay.” I’l do those duets on the […]

I’m writing up the “background” for this OER math project.   “Explain how the project came about…”   well, that would take a page or two… I wanted to link to UDL principles and noticed they “have a new home” http://udlguidelines.cast.org/  and that their chart still outlines “Provide multiple means of…” representation, action and expression, and engagement.” […]

So student saw 7v – 4v and … put 3^v in as the answer, because the box to the right had that as an option. Yes, training students to think about the math, not about strategies for figuring what the answer might be because of the options provided can take a while.  This gave me […]

I went to open a new GOogle Doc for The Beta Project and saw “pics from transcend” and … had to skim.  Many (>10 years) moons ago I saw this out on Windsor Road.   Took several times seeing them before I realized what they represent:   hand-driven recumbent cycles (we have an outstanding team at the […]
