"[coding] should be taught like a language, you have elements of learning syntax but you also have "conversation" classes where you produce code in small groups. This also creates the option of using coding courses to fulfill second language requirements."

"as of 2016 over 20% of listed jobs required coding skills. It used to be this kind of niche skill that software engineers held, but now it's central to all STEM fields"

ChatGPT and Gemini are cool, but...

California passed a new law that will mandate K-12 students to learn media literacy as part of their modules plan.

The bill is designed to help students develop skills in identifying false information online amid a worrying rise in distrust in the media. https://t.co/YUJlSZ70ew

Being asked to participate in the @CAMathCouncil @cmc_south conference Ignite was a real honor. You know what's even better? My family drove in LA traffic for 4 hours to surprise me and see it in person! The night of my professional life. Thank you to all who made it happen.

Just finished loading the car with fun #playmath things and some new #SumOfItAll stickers.

Stop by the Hub at #cmcmath @CAMathCouncil conference this weekend to play and grab some awesome #playmath postcards, plus stickers for all those #SumOfItAll podcast listeners out there!

If you help run a conference for math educators, I have a question for you: what are you doing to encourage younger teachers (who tend to use Instagram and TikTok instead of Twitter and Facebook) to come to your conference?

How do they know that your conference exists?

[Jason Slowbe @TheSlowbe]

Love this - @JohnCUrschel retired early from the NFL, in which careers are very short, to spend an entire lifetime doing concussion-free mathematics. Well played sir.

Going to the CMC South math conference?

Please join us for a casual Friday dinner at Shakey's where you can mingle with your math educator friends.

It's $20 for all you can eat food and non-alcoholic drinks. Beer and wine is available for purchase.

Robots will continue to replace human jobs. Add yoga instructor to that list.

[Tesla Optimus @Tesla_Optimus]

Optimus can now sort objects autonomously 🤖

Its neural network is trained fully end-to-end: video in, controls out.

Come join to help develop Optimus (& improve its yoga routine 🧘)

Congrats! And see you in Palm Springs.

Math learning may be more transferable than markets learning:

He said he found it easier to teach "mathematicians about the markets than it is to teach mathematics and programming to people who know about the markets."

Why Won’t Elite Colleges Deploy the One Race-Neutral Way to Achieve Diversity?

"Giving a leg up to poor students of all races would diversify elite schools. Officials would rather do anything else."

If you're coming to CMC South, I just confirmed that we're going to be able to reserve Shakey's again for dinner on Friday night. Save the date. More info coming in October.

Robotics friends, check out the Micromouse Maze Contest. I love low floor high ceiling tasks that stimulate rich optimizing solutions. @veritasium

News companies own higher quality, factual written content than freely available internet content.

#ChatGPT's learning models need high quality training data.

Time to pay media companies for the value that quality content adds to ChatGPT.

I see this every day:

"students who don’t do well in traditional math classes can unexpectedly bloom in computer science."
