This one is a bit different from the last two posts. Building an Apple TV app is a personal project. Rebuilding my precalc notes is something I'm doing for myself and my own classes. This project (the Regents Question Reviewer) was a department project. And it involved something AI can do quickly...
In my last post I talked about building an Apple TV app. That's exciting, but honestly it's not something most teachers are all that interested in.
This one is different. This is an AI-assisted project I think a lot of teachers could actually pull off: an automated system for building print-ready...
I've been messing around with AI tools for a while now. Like a lot of teachers, I started with an LLM (Large Language Model), ChatGPT. Amazing stuff, you ask a question and it gives you a very plausible answer. Often it's wrong, but then more recently, it's pretty right. It does some strange methods...
So this is a twitter thread that I posted regarding the NBCT path. Seeing how twitter is on the way down the toilet, I’ll fix some of the typos and put it up here too. Link.
So a week ago I logged into the National Board website and learned that I had scored enough points on the most recent two...
A few months back there was a bit of a kerfuffle about how Twitter uses an a...
End of the year. Finally. Sixty plus school days out, from March 12th until June 12th.
Who knows what the fall will bring? More of the same, full distance learning? Some days in school, some distance? Totally back in person?
Full of questions. So I asked the students a series of questions, so...
This is a Day in the Life of post in the 6th week of our Corona Virus School break. I wrote a previous Day in the Life post six years ago and it can be found here. Here is the #mtbos call for similar posts, also from a long time ago. The idea for this post is to record what it’s like to be a...
Once again, here’s a lightly edited twitter thread about my experiences teaching in the COVID19 craziness. This is the fifth week that we’ve been away from students.
This week I asked the students to attend a small group (<=5) 10 min meeting with me to talk about our past and our future for the cl...
Hello forgotten blog. I’ll go back to forgetting about you, but I wrote a lot of text into your flashier cousin, Twitter, and here it is copied, pasted, and lightly edited.
I’ve been asking the students to fill out weekly feedback forms. What is going on? Do you need anything? What is working? Wh...
This is an update to my previous PAEMST post.
In the middle of October I took a trip with my wife to DC and participated in the PAEMST (Presidential Awards for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching) awards conference for three days. It was a great trip, the 7-12 awardees from 2017 and the K-...
