"More technology does not mean more meaningful learning environments"

He began his studies during the coronavirus pandemic – initially purely digitally, later switching constantly between online and face-to-face formats.…

Ian Stewart’s (2005) book Game, Set and Math includes 12 puzzles linked to the 12 days of Christmas. A favourite is Five Gold Rings. The five gold rings are arranged to maximise the overlaps. At every overlap there is a diamond. You have diamonds of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... carats. Arrange the diamonds so the total number of carats on each ring is the same.

Try starting small—just two rings, two overlaps and each ring has a total of three carats (1 + 2). Now three rings, there are six overlaps, arrange diamonds of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 carats so each ring has the same total.

Seasonal Values
Each of the symbols in the grid has a value. From the totals given for each row and each column can you work out what they are?

The eight symbols have values 1 to 8 and each has the same value wherever it appears.

@copystar
Thank you for writing this, very interesting.

The linked essay and your quote struck me in particular:
"each student will be responsible for introducing a class session—presenting the core arguments of that day’s readings, identifying key tensions or problems, proposing questions for discussion."*

Thanks for you insights.

I think the threading on my server means it's easier to view the whole thread directly at https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/115524576264052792

Attached: 1 image 1/10 #MathsMonday This #Mathematics article came across my feed, about how #Maths #teachers teach #Math - https://teamone.msuurbanstem.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Skemp-Relational-Instrumental-clean-copy-AT-1978.pdf - where it is quite clear that the author didn't bother asking any actual teachers about it(!), and the assumption made is completely wrong (could've saved himself all that effort if he'd just checked his #facts first #misinformation). First I'm going to address some of the wrong claims, then I will go through the actual reasons, which we DO actually teach...

I want to reach out: Do you know any good(!) paper for benefits or downsides of online course? Or of online vs. on-site courses?

I did a little research, found nothing compelling, but I am _not_ an expert in this field and might very well be overlooking something.
