@whitmer I seem to recall you implementing open security audits annually so I think this may be on them

@WaveConnects what’s the eta for Ames Lake internet, haven’t had service since Sunday evening.

[Jonathan Briggs @gotphysics]

@Rafe I interned at Red Herring (it, events, biz dev) while you were there (summers ‘98-‘00). Now run tech at a school. Happy to see you at make mag. A favorite of ours!

@MSEduCentral @TweetMeet @justinchando @Flipgrid Must say, #flipgrid had been an amazing async class discussion platform. Very interesting what happens when you remove friction from video creation. Good luck @justinchando

[Jonathan Briggs @gotphysics]

@TweetMeet A4: All of them! Best outcome is that we add complexity to our teaching practice. It isn't in-person v. remote. It is what are the most effective way to engage my Ss in-person (sync) and outside of class (async). All tools are resources to do that! #MSFTEduChat #TweetMeetEN

[Jonathan Briggs @gotphysics]

A2: One-on-one sessions with students were also interestingly easier remote. You could have conversations during class that you would normally have to hold a student back for due to privacy. Interesting shift.

A3: Flip grid was a great alternative to class discussions. Essentially an async discussion. Interesting possibilities there. Also lent itself to a different set of students than in-class discussions

A2: Work to use the affordances of the delivery method. Don't recreate in-person class online. Look for what could be better? Guest speakers were so easy remote! Finding artifacts in your room. What does this medium lend itself to?

@CherylBadger @PlayCraftLearn Working on a name redacted video of it. Will take some time - have to learn after effects first ;)

Anyone else find it amusing that written communication has come full circle back to hieroglyphics 🤔🔁❔

[Jonathan Briggs @gotphysics]

@BoydMulterer Tried both. Looks like there is a glew installer for win, linux sub system wont grab libglew from apt but I found ref to people getting GUIs to work with some hacks. Will plug away at it (works great rebooting to full ubuntu). Raspi/nerves is more interesting than win 4 now

[Jonathan Briggs @gotphysics]

@BoydMulterer got scenic_math running under windows, scenic_driver_glfw has a similar issue and links to a lot. That one might be beyond my s(c)killset.

[Jonathan Briggs @gotphysics]

@BoydMulterer And I'm about to struggle with I'm sure. Will be my learning project. Scenic will be great for our intro to functional programming seminar at Eastside Prep (we are just up the street in Kirkland, come visit anytime)

[Jonathan Briggs @gotphysics]

@BoydMulterer working on getting scenic running under windows, needs a nmake compatible makefile for scenic_math, will send along when it works.

[Jonathan Briggs @gotphysics]

@captainphyzz They really should have gotten it up to 1.21 GWhr (different unit, I know but still)

[Jonathan Briggs @gotphysics]

@pragdave Well that looks like fun! Let me know if I can help out in any way.
