Matt Koehler and I usually have a end of semester show-case of work done by the students in our classes. This semester Matt has been teaching CEP955 (Research design and methods for educational psychology and educational technology) and I have been involved with CEP917 (Knowledge | Media | Design). The end of semester showcase is coming up on the 10th of December (from 2:00 – 3:00 PM) in 133 D & E Erickson Hall. The students this year have done some really interesting work – which I will document here, hopefully sometime next week.

We usually design a special poster for the event (below).

If you are in / or around Erickson Hall, we hope to see you there.

Note: I wrote and submitted this piece as an op-ed to the Indianapolis Star to be published on April 14, 2023, exactly 3 years after they had published Gilbert Daniels' obituary. It would have helped set the record straight about his amazing contribution to the world...

Rethinking homework, some thoughts…

Sep 15, 2010

Shelly Blake-Plock over at TeachPaperLess has a great post about homework and how it can be structured to act as a "cliffhanger." As he says: These days, the homework I give isn't based on some arbitrary idea of how much work a kid should do 'at home' to reinforce...

Mathematical insight on reality & you (yes, you!)

Mathematical insight on reality & you (yes, you!)

Jan 28, 2017

I have always been intrigued by the manner in which everyday ideas get "mathematicized" (if that's a word). For instance, the other day, on a bus-stop by my office I noticed an equation written on the wall. I have no idea why it was there, but...
