when I get out on the bike, the 37 different Really Important Things To Get Done slowly bubble to the top. Doesn’t always follow me inside… The Two Big Things are the Times Tables Class and the Cool Geogebra Spaced Retrieval Activity. Another Big THing that is lurking is… doing the Thing Like THe Lumen […]

I waffled several times (esp. when reading about an upcoming webinar about some OER efforts in adult ed that I didn’t know about), and then just wrote down what I have been trying to do for the past little while (didn’t go back to the beginning and the OER-STEM project, but that’s included in my […]

A site full of virtual manipulates, which seem to be javascript 😉 🙂 http://mathsbot.com/ Free, but not “OER.” The Open Education people seem to be mostly about Changing How Institutions Do THings. Power In Numbers has been about curating and sharing OER for adult ed. This is at such a smaller scale! I keep finding […]

Last night I chatted with a friend who’s a graphic designer specializing in educational materials. She loved programming but … math. She had said that when she sees a recipe and it calls for 1/3 or 2/3 … what??? I had been explaining to her the visual I need for my lessons: […]

Depending on which wrong answer a student chooses, the teaching should be adapted. We could do that with tech, too. Pathways… especially if we included humans who could ask questions of the student […]

LOL the two minutes ’til end of work day and I DROVE THE CAR THING so I can’t even think about it well on the way home. Here’s my next magic grant request. Hey. I really should figure it out and at least plop it on a few other blogs. So I’m doing […]

Watched a video interview with the ‘connectedness coach’ or something like that for the course. Truth be told, if I hadn’t had 15 hits on my little equity post, I’d have forgotten about #openlearning. The semester has started so my job is actually serving students. (Yesterday was a day I wished I had a […]
