Following the twitter feed for the OpenEd conference. My brain sort of conflated it with Twitter Math Camp but the tweets remind me of the frenzy of the 25 minute sessions. It maximizes the connections and interactions … but the information is pretty much exposure to a million ideas. Oh, and if you blink you […]

Yo! Learned a totally new thing. So when you get one right, I want it to go in your “good facts” group. I might want to have an “even better” facts group — for the 3 categories of “drill pack,” “practice pack,” and “new ones.” Maybe students should be able to pick them 😉 Anyway, […]

Okay, not *instant,* but … CSS is a lot less complicated than JavaScript 😉 I’m also getting more comfortable going to the console. I wonder how long it will take ’til it seems so easy I think everybody should be doing it… tho’… not sure that will happen w/ JavaScript. Seems the #OpenEd19 conference has […]

I got a good answer to a simple question on the freecodecamp.org forum yesterday, and I’m going to have enough to share by the end of today (because I really do now :-)).

Oh. My. I’m on student six with completely different examples of “well, I haven’t done anything and I don’t have time to do anything, help me!” … and… it didn’t get better. It included so many flavors and subjects. There were plenty of goodnesses, too, though. Got a fwe minutes in on the times tables […]

… as in caffeine enough to get focused 😉 Today’s my monthly “#mtbos ambassador day,” based on concerns that #mtbos needs to be sure to be welcoming and it’s all kinds of busy. I remembered the concern that it not be a clique where new voices just whisper into the void and feel like they […]

4:17 We’re getting a grant… it’s stressing folks out… not me ’cause a: it doesn’t change anything I do and b: I’d have to have executive functioning abilities to comprehend it.

Sometimes it works 🙂 So a student who’s king of shortcuts and number sense and (what’s the opposite of king? pawn?) … well, gazes at the question about divisibility by 9 and “nobody ever taught them that!!!” Well, I know they were … shall we say… exposed to the rule. I went back over divisibility […]
