Time to rewind and start over!

I've been waiting to make this video - I think now it's time.

@anniek_p @alittlestats This all sounds pretty hyperbolic to me. #fakemathnews

President Obama and I established a White House office to prepare our nation for future pandemics. Donald Trump eliminated it — and we've been paying the price every single day.

@JacobsPhysics Is there a place we can get copies of the files (problems) you refer to in the AP Physics review sessions?

[Gus Steppen @gsteppen]

@TheStatsMedic I want you to know I used the Taste the Rainbow context to pull a little prank on my #Apstats students. I got about 5 nervous replies to my Remind message #AprilFoolsDay

[Gus Steppen @gsteppen]

A nice Dave diversion #PayItForwardLIVE

@alicekeeler Can you make a video about adding check boxes in MS Excel next to a student roster? Specifically a shared workbook created from MS Teams environment?

[Gus Steppen @gsteppen]

@AP_Trevor @taevwink So, is there a deadline for when the students can decide NOT to take the AP exam? What should I communicate to parents and students?

[Gus Steppen @gsteppen]

@TheStatsMedic Lots of people are going to lose a lot of money! Nothing “normal” about this situation. Anxious students/families should have the option of opting out at this point. Those that opt in take an electronic formative in May. Followed by paper test in summer for qualifying scores.

Thinking ahead to some AP Statistics lessons. We use penny dotplot distributions (by year). But this activity could be used at many grade levels. Find the mean, median, mode? Observe the distribution. What do you notice? Why might this be true? Need: Pennies, Cardboard, Time

Stunning satellite imagery from the European Space Agency taken before and then after Italy's COVID-19 quarantine shows a decrease in air polluting emissions over the country as people stayed indoors and reduced activity. https://t.co/SaUMDbi0jd

@ringer yea he is!

Great learning activity inspired by #nmsi college readiness program. #apstats

Check this out! Our AP Stats class at MHS designed a cool experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of fake tans! Results: there was a mean difference of 1.1 (noticeable in 24 hours)! Students used a rating system to formulate their solution! #wearemiddletown

[Gus Steppen @gsteppen]

@TheStatsMedic Does anybody know or recommend something similar to 150 days of AP Physics1 as a resource? I need a road map & lesson plan ideas for Physics. I love the structure/layout of Stats Medic materials!

@WeareMiddletown @SportsNDN @projo We did it. One sprained ankle and a lot of drama later, we beat Narragansett in the finals! And we got to break in our new uniforms.

@WeareMiddletown @loliveira55 @Flipgrid @MicrosoftEDU @Newsela @goformative @OneNoteEDU @SrtaLyon @Dsoares_MiddHS @MHSIslanders @R_Clancey Excellent! And now that we received PD the next step is to pick one tool and actively use it in the classroom. If anyone at MHS needs help with @goformative or @OneNoteEDU class notebook, especially for math, let me know!
