Online College Math Teacher: April 2013
http://onlinecollegemathteacher.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 24, 2013. The first school of thought is to take a very conservative approach and not do anything that could potentially trigger a lawsuit. This school of thought adopts the Section 107. Fair Use statute literally, and adopts the so-called Guidelines. As rules to follow. This school would say that Section 107 does not apply to for-profit schools, period. It would also say under the Guidelines that you had better obey the brevity, spontaneity and cumulative effect guidelines.

Online College Math Teacher: October 2013
http://onlinecollegemathteacher.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 15, 2013. Homer Simpson disproves Fermat's Last Theorem. Simpsons fans know that Lisa seems to know a lot of math for someone her age but Homer can also surprise us, and higher math often sneaks its way into the show. Two university professors give some references to some of the math that has been used on the show in their site Simpsonsmath.com. And they also link to another of their pages on the quite significant mathematical backgrounds of the Simpsons' writers. Line of best fit.

Online College Math Teacher: June 2013
http://onlinecollegemathteacher.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 21, 2013. Women in STEM on television. Other than female physicians, there are not a lot of women on television drama and sitcoms in science and technology. I don't know how popular the television show "The Big Bang Theory". Is among young women - probably not very - and while that show does have a pretty but somewhat dumb blonde, it also has several actresses portraying women with doctorates in science. Sara Gilbert portrays the very sharp-tongued Dr. Leslie Winkle, a physicist.

Online College Math Teacher: May 2013
http://onlinecollegemathteacher.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 28, 2013. OK, we've all heard about MOOCs: Massive Open Online Courses. Very few of them are for college credit at the moment. But for those of us reading this blog - we probably don't need three more credits. So let's enroll in one of these MOOCs, for the fun of it. I chose Stanford University's EDUC115N: How to Learn Math. Which starts July 15, 2013. Why not join me, and see what a MOOC is like? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Line of best fit. Free Technology for Teachers.

Online College Math Teacher: January 2013
http://onlinecollegemathteacher.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 29, 2013. An algebra problem students struggle with. Hi I am amused when a student midway through the class will ask what grade he or she needs on the remaining material, so that the final grade will be say a B. My amusement is because either it is a student in my algebra class asking this question, or a student in my statistics class where algebra is the prerequisite. I should use this example as additional ammunition to the question, "Why do we have to take algebra? Hi One topic I cove...

Online College Math Teacher: Math is math, except in social science
http://onlinecollegemathteacher.blogspot.com/2015/04/math-is-math-except-in-social-science.html
Sunday, April 26, 2015. Math is math, except in social science. So how are the eggs? Eggs are eggs." "Eggs are eggs. That is very profound. By the same token, couldn't you say fish is fish? I don't think so.". So goes a Seinfeld dialog. Similarly. Sigmund Freud is alleged to have said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar," although researchers question whether he really said it. I found a counter-example of this in statistics. I haven't seen it. And not only will the student of this psychology class f...

Tuesday, April 16, 2013. New tech / old tech. I got no student responses on the videos. But what I did get a favorable response on, is a handwritten diagram that I scanned and posted. So sometimes maybe old tech is the best. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Line of best fit. Free Technology for Teachers. Genius Ideas of Greg and Lisa. New tech / old tech.
