Interested in learning more about two step recursion, but also want to maybe get tripped up by a Billionaire moron's pettiness? Click here: https://t.co/MKq3SziXng

Robotics Coding Livestream Imminent!

I’ll be joining the fantastic Dan @shiffman of Coding Train to talk about how to make robots hop and run. Can we make a simulation of a hopping robot before we get too hungry for lunch?

Find out at 11am ET today!

@mikeandallie Awesome!

Even though I have 1.5 weeks of summer left, I still (re)read these posts and enjoyed them throughly. Ok putting my head back into the sand for a while longer.

Thinking of all the teachers starting the school year soon!
I wrote these posts 4 & 8 years ago. Most of what I said still holds true (the rest was me being dramatic or wrong).
Wishing you a great start!

@mpershan The financier?

[Dan Anderson @dandersod]

@mpershan @STEM_inTamarian They definitely teach analog clock reading in 2nd grade here. Not sure if it’s a school thing or a nys thing though.

[Dan Anderson @dandersod]

@benorlin Ok, asked about the rules. After every turn (where they both draw an X or an O), the roll a die and flip a coin. That picks the row or column that will be erased. You need to get four in a row to win. To win you have four in a row and it needs to survive the next erasure.

[Dan Anderson @dandersod]

@benorlin After these kids did some of your Math Games, they started making up their own tic tac toe game where they flip a coin and then can make a move. Not exactly sure what's going on, but they're having fun!

@mpershan More like Angle Reese amiright

@mikeandallie Amazing quality of ice, especially for a lake!

@mr_stadel @mpershan @cbokhove @DanielBorowsk13 @mathillustrated I've tried daily random groups, does NOT work for me. I've settled on randomizing groups every two weeks. Ss get to know each other, and can build on relationships that they make. (huge school and I teach 10-12th graders college level precalc)

"An irony is that school outsiders—economists, policy wonks, CEOs, and others—are more likely to promote the magic of great teaching than teachers themselves do." https://t.co/oGqlj3A925

@ddmeyer Year 21 (!). #1 goal is to try and set a vibe that the class is a great place to work with others on tough stuff.

[Dan Anderson @dandersod]

@ddmeyer @martinsean I mean, ideally. Mainly I’m probably just not as good of a planner for lessons.

[Dan Anderson @dandersod]

@ddmeyer @martinsean Yea totally. Children at home are a wonderful rock to be stuck against vs planning’s hard place. And then when they’re old enough that you could spend more time on school because your sleep is more normal, you’ve hopefully gained some good efficiency skills.

@mikeandallie Glad to see that they've improved frisbee technology in the last 33 years, no more handles necessary!
