It's been a crazy few weeks but super grateful that I'm healthy, have had lots of quality time with my two kiddos, and in between it all managed to pass my @FlatironSchool Rails project! More convinced than ever that this is the right path for me 🙏

[Allison Johnson @infinigons]

Excited to have submitted my Sinatra project for @FlatironSchool -- it was fun to design an app that might be useful for high school teachers (like me!) https://t.co/zP8fp1mhse

What happens when a teacher learns to code @FlatironSchool? She feels like one of her students and creates her own checks for understanding! https://t.co/l70axwL6TE

So excited to have completed my first project for @FlatironSchool's coding bootcamp! You can read about it here: https://t.co/hHAmyxD8ob

My general response to some general criticism about schools like mine that, frankly, I'm a little sick of hearing: http://t.co/55wGlHGzFB

Finally - something to write about and the time to write it! Cool classroom structures to try at http://t.co/NRDQmuWT

Teaching teachers is really, really scary

[Allison Johnson @infinigons]

@dandersod I just saw "vpython" and decided I wanted to try it too, so I haven't looked at yours yet :) Thanks for the idea!

[Allison Johnson @infinigons]

@NatBanting Yep, that's basically what I did! I posted a full solution in the comments on my blog.

[Allison Johnson @infinigons]

@sarcasymptote Wait, you mean it's not cool to do math problems at bars? Shoot. Enjoy!

[Allison Johnson @infinigons]

@sarcasymptote Eureka! sqrt(3-2sqrt(2))=sqrt(2)-1! This simplifies things greatly. New solution on my blog.

[Allison Johnson @infinigons]

@sarcasymptote I put up my attempted solution: http://t.co/7f4ON7s but either I'm missing something in the setup or in the simplifying ...

Putting myself in my kids' shoes (or, Am I asking too much of them?): http://t.co/6QvYDkD #math #teaching

[Allison Johnson @infinigons]

writing end-of-year comments for seniors i've had for 2 years (and who are also my first students ever) = total sobfest. does it get easier?

[Allison Johnson @infinigons]

any great last-2-days-of-school-for-seniors ideas? was going to watch "stand and deliver" but ending with a movie seems so impersonal...
