I’m an #Edutooter - teacher of English and general teaching & learning nerd.
In about half an hour, UK #ISS pass, starting at 18:25:41, duration 189 secs, very bright, Magnitude -3.2
Ada Lovelace died #OTD in 1852, at the age of 36. In her 1843 supplement to Babbage’s Analytical Engine, simply titled Notes, she outlined four essential concepts that would shape the birth of modern computing a century later. #WomenInSTEM

Here's a maths fact that I find surprisingly useful in everyday life.

Suppose you have a long thin right-angled triangle, say with sides 1 and ε. Then Taylor expanding Pythagoras' Theorem gives that the hypotenuse is approximately 1 + ε²/2. Since ε is small, ε²/2 is tiny. So the hypotenuse is basically the same length as the side!

I'll give some examples of places where this comes up. Would love to hear others! (1/2)

@thosethatcan welcome Emma, #Eduglow is a lovely method to find education professionals. Using an introduction with a hashtag gives both others an intro to you and you can find others! #Edutoot and #Edutooter useful signposts too. Good luck!

In the process of moving so not on t'internet regularly at the mo.

#Eduglow moment.

Not sure we've cracked it yet, but we are trying, and the student knows I'm wanting them to get there.

I took a while to warm up on this but getting into the swing.

Someone gave me great advice when I started here. Don’t be a wallflower, just scrolling through your timeline. Boost the posts that made you stop a moment. Say hello to others. You’ll be an “old-timer” in a few days. Don’t just follow all the same people who are like you. Use your filter to not see topics that wear you down. Visit other countries through their photos. This place is what WE make it. Let’s build a real community. #newbies #welcome
