Riding in this morning I was reflecting on the really frustrated student yesterday. The problems were “order of operations” problems so they had 5 or 6 steps and if he did them piece. by. piece. he’d lose a detail and if he did ’em in his head he’d drop a sign or […]

Yes, I emailed all my Parkland College Graphic Arts teachers to show them that those Graphic Design skills pay off but no, I’m not quitting the day job ;). However, I am thinking about where to go with math and animated interactive lessons… perhaps a proposal for a concept-based math module like the one we’re […]

Okay, okay, I really honestly thought I *had* to get the grand prize. After all, **I** was the only entrant with the talking robots. Actual quality be darned! But it is 1:02 p.m. and I must maintain my vow of Actually Taking LUnch. More soon… http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/edtechresearcher/2012/08/what_if_khan_academy_was_made_in_japan_mtt2k_grand_prize.html

Not sayin’ I don’t reserve the right to edit and update, but my #mtt2k is up there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=17aDeIvY1MM I tweeted thusly but didn’t get nearly the attention that http://drtae.org/am-i-a-world-class-pool-player-or-what/ did… as far as a direct hit on the “logic” of Khan followers, he nailed it. I didn’t put Miss Conception in there… The world […]

Got this link from my friend John Minor: http://htwins.net/mathvids/num.html It’s incurably cute and yes, has too much in one video for an intro but it’s a great little review. Let’s go to the equation playground!

So. I woke up this morning inspired to add “appeal” to my animation. That would be, to make these numbers and stuff have character and appeal. Except, of course, I don’t have those drawing skills. An hour on google and … hey, if Veggie Tales can give character to vegetables, I can give emotions to […]

… so, the presentation went well enough at both conference and class to inspire me to dash off a request for being included in our grant request… but too late. (I wasn’t anything like ready until the conference.) However, I’ve graduated from “don’t call us, we’ll call you” to “call us again, later.” My animation […]

Hacking through cyberspace, I have been. I’ve found “math for grownups” (http://www.mathforgrownups.com ) and “the math mom” (http://www.themathmom.com), and “elevated math.” I’m afraid I deposited my apprehensions about the Magic of Flipped Classrooms on that blog, and once again got the feeling of that void between People Who KNow and Love Math and … the […]

Dry, sardonic comment from across table: “You don’t want to have to have the six talk.” Pause for the spontaneous giggles. “Six is evil, demonic, the devil’s spawn.” It’s the Big Factoring Practice Packet time… about 200 problems… and I was explaining that if the last number is six, you have to be very careful […]
