Inside Higher Ed so not research, just opinion. “Deficiency Mind-Set Bedevils Developmental Math“ Okay, this person is at least dean of STEM at a technical college.

Struggled with file management in GIMP — making similar parts and wholes bar models like this Decided that was too cluttered and went with this: … still having trouble figuring out and then remembering where to export things to… … and “save as” didn’t work. So I turned that guy into 4 + 3 being […]

I found out about a new-to-me product for adult learners from Brainchild.com — the “study buddy.” It’s a game console set up with learning activities. I wondered how easy it would be to say, *design my own* stuff and get it onto something like that because I was in that mode 😉 I inquired and […]
