@AravSrinivas Credits would be very useful. We are building tools for teachers to be able to create good quality, well researched, unit plans, lesson plans, assignments, etc.

One kind of interesting question someone asked me during this discourse is: aren’t some mathematical questions intrinsically more difficult than others, and if so, how do we measure that, especially for unsolved problems? 🧵

Terry Tao and I spoke over coffee for like two hours yesterday, in part about diversity in how people think about math. We both agreed that people who hit these walls early mostly don't learn the way of thinking about math that works for them. It's an educational failure

@kimdayers I rarely use it and especially discourage students from using it. I feel like it creates a hierarchy in the classroom which is not conducive to the type of learning culture I like to create.

In this age of information overload and fake news, it is often challenging to decide what to believe. If you are someone who is committed to rational thinking, critical reading is an essential tool in your arsenal!

OK, tried out a new unit in my intro to philosophy class, and it is my new favorite unit: "Are Grades Bullshit?"

I have never seen intro students more intensely engaged, more edge-of-their-seat, and more mind-blown.

@RhiannonDauster I was there for that. He was quite annoyed with his wife for forcing him to use powerpoint!

@qatarairways @qrsupport I’m flying with you from SFO today. Checked in at Phoenix with American to connect and the seats I’ve been given are not what I selected. Please take a look at that.
