I’m perusing “how to do poster presentations” and oh, the audience is *so* clearly 20-something grad students trying to impress but this one from Hopkins looks good (LOL viewers will have different cognitive styles!). The big picture? Let’s try this: SOME STUDENTS NEED DEVELOPMENTAL MATH. SKILLS AND SCORES Students are arriving at college without the […]

AERA Open, 8. https://doi.org/10.1177/23328584221086664 This one discusses what kinds of co-req designs were more important.

Usually “PhilOnEdTech” is *interesting* to me — lots of discussions of online learning and what’s going on with the assorted companies. What happened when Canvas got bought?

So! I’m in the Digital Learning Lab cohort — where we try out using technology to help adults learn. Executive Summary (TL/DR:) We also know it’s not really about the tools — it’s how they’re used — and what they’re used on. With enough support and stuff to organize, WE SUCCEEDED !!!

… I *think* that was the name of the session at the awesome Make Math Moments Virtual Summit which had, they say, over 10,000 participants. There were hundreds in each session I dropped in on. I’ve been following these folks since they were just sharing some cool stuff, though at first it was all apple-product-dependent… so, […]

What do we really know about teaching kids math? Twitter’s NDY (not dead yet) tho’ I don’t remember who posted the link. It links to an article about the history of “progressive” math and okay, *that one* is more interesting so far 😛 Apparently, in 1955 only about 25% of HS students “were enrolled in […]

… it says “figure out the memes ” and blog about how. Well, Laura Gibbs’ blog has that information with so many “growth mindset cats” but I decided against the widget that randomizes them, and to put ’em there myself. I made a few more 🙂 How? Open picture in GIMP. It says “convert to […]
