Teaching and Intervening

Mar 21, 2014 • Dav Clark


Teaching

We just had another bootcamp! I’ve been thinking about planning for future curricula in the D-Lab, and would love to chat with interested folks about what we do next.

UPDATE: We talked about different approaches we might take:

Teaching Whiteboard

William Stein paid us a visit, and mentioned the utility of introducing a surprising gotcha after each topic.

You can (unsurprisingly) find some gotchas on Stack Overflow

Mobile (and other) Interventions

I’ll also be fresh from a meeting about how to do mobile interventions and surveys, including technologies like Django. If folks wanted to touch base about that, I’d love to! Look for updates with links after the meeting.

NOTE: We didn’t actually get to this.

Other stuff: William Stein / SAGE Math Cloud

William Stein presented SAGE Math Cloud. It’s pretty rad, you can use it for free. He also still skates vert.

Fancy photo shoot

Lastly - Angela from the Berkeley Science Review showed up and took some pictures of us. She also said she thought William’s presentation was pretty cool. Stay posted for further images.

Spring Break

PLEASE NOTE - we will be taking a break over spring break. You should too! We’ll meet Friday, March 21, and then resume in April.
