    An interesting 'blog from Stanford's Keith Devlin (NPR's Math Guy) who is documenting his thinking as he prepares to offer a MOOC (Massively Open Online Course) on Mathematical Thinking.  This is an incredibly compelling read if you are interested in transition issues from secondary to college, the future potential of online courses, and/or mathematics education.

  • I quickly figured out how to play that game successfully – success in that case being measured by my being able to solve under exam conditions, problems like the ones the teacher had shown us and we had practiced in class and done for homework.
  • In fact, you can’t separate real teaching from learning. They are simply two perspectives of the same human interactive process.
  • For whereas technology can provide instruction and can provide teachers and students with resources to assist them, what is cannot do on its own is teach them.
