All things considered, I'm really happy with how my teaching this semester turned out. Here is some info on how I ran class, some lessons I learned, and my advice for people teaching large classes online (1/16)

I took my 6 yr old to class a couple days ago. She brought a book and sat in the front row. I noticed her drawing while I taught. At the end of class, I asked what she drew. She showed me the paper.

She had been taking notes on my lecture. Legitimate, actual notes.

I couldn't find a good NCAA bracket so I made my own.

Includes locations, channels, and times.

You're welcome, world.

I played Rocket League for the first time yesterday. Finally found a game that lets me combine being bad at sports with being bad at driving games.

While I was lecturing and pointing at the green screen today, someone in the chat said I had "@SteveKornacki energy", which I take as a major compliment.

@grahamgardner13 This was the highlight of 2020 for me.

@CNN First guy in history to not have to spend his entire first day of work learning how to log in to his e-mail and use the printer.

[Jeff Ackermann @Jeffrey_Ack]

@imbernomics No, but he made it into my lecture slides today, so I’m sure that will come as some consolation.

@grahamgardner13 Hahahahha

I had The Most Michigan Morning Ever today: went and bought gasoline for my snow blower and then spent an hour going to multiple stores to return 300 aluminum cans.

@lymanstoneky Any chance you’ll do the graphs by age groups that you’ve done in the past?

@wwwojtekk I can’t wait to read his book about how well he managed the pandemic.

@karenvaites @apoorva_nyc @guardian As best as I can tell, the only info the article provides is that kids are more likely to be asymptomatic, which I thought was common knowledge at this point. I’m not sure how that’s newsworthy.
