Watch Jo introduce YouCubed We will feature short, high quality video ideas, featuring Jo & friends. Watch to learn about ways to build self-confident, math-loving children and students. *** One of my favorite resources; although, I'm still trying to figure out "open access" (or not). As CCSS evolves, it is great to see research that is purposeful and linked to classroom practice - teachers can use it and make sense of it - direct impact in classrooms.

Is the article linked? I don't see it...

All credit to theSkimm, definitely caught my attention and leaves me wanting to learn/understand further... WHAT TO SAY WHEN THE NEXT EPISODE OF "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" WON'T LOAD… Barney blocked. Today, Netflix and a bunch of other big-name websites like Etsy, Kickstarter, and WordPress are protesting to support net neutrality. The sites will be showing a picture of the 'spinning wheel of death' loading symbol - not to make sure you're still breathing, but as a friendly reminder that this could be the future. Refresher: net neutrality is the idea that all content on the Internet should be treated equally, and preference shouldn't be given to sites willing to pay for faster connections. That's not what happens now. There's currently no regulation over how Internet providers treat traffic from different websites. The FCC's been listening to comments on some new rules for monitoring pay-to-play. They're going to stop listening to everyone's opinions next week.

As I participate in, and contribute to, the MOOC for Changing the Global Course for Learning, I will inevitably tie the readings / work / ideas back to education at the K12 level. As noted, "Before the internet there were two important things to teach: content and skills, like writing," November said. "Now there's a third skill which is to build out your network to the world."

Easily one of the most influential courses I have participated in as an educator. The connection to Growth Mindset, along with the on-going "talk" around international math education sheds light on "How to Learn Math" for all. A course for teachers, parents, and students - yes; but more importantly, a course for all. Oh how I wish math had been taught, when I was in school, with this research in mind!
