[email protected] (citizenmath.com) just did something wild. The entire library -- every one of their thoughtfully, beautifully crafted lessons -- is now free.

Might be of interest to some in this bailiwick: W. Ross Ashby's "An Introduction to Cybernetics" (1956): pespmc1.vub.ac.be/books/IntroC...

The next time you find someone pretending to explain quantum mechanics, quantum computers and quantum artificial intelligence like a guru, keep in mind this short introduction to the field given by Prof. Shankar at Yale University. After it, you can start spreading ignorance too. Simply brilliant.

I've never heard a curriculum director talk about what it would mean to be faithful to students or to the profession, but I could buy dinner with the number of times I've heard fidelity to a curriculum.

In honor of the late Stafford Beer's 100th birthday, we are collaborating with Metaphorum to present a series of speakers for online events about Beer’s work and its lasting relevance for questions regarding postcapitalism and democratic economic planning. www.indep.network/indepxmetaph...

I'd watch a muppet show movie where the muppets infiltrate an academic conference.

A few days ago we lost an important hidden figure in the history of 20th century Cold War technology—Gladys West’s work and insights were essential in the creation of GPS: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

@allanpatterson.bsky.social tells the story here of Deming's management philosophy, how it revolutionised manufacturing, and how it can revolutionise public services given half a chance. (Fyi @johnseddon.bsky.social ) open.substack.com/pub/allanpat...

Organizing books by colour is pervert shit.

Gert Biesta just published a brief reflection on his important 2007 article, "Why 'What Works' Won't Work" in Education: "...whereas policy argues that practice should take research findings seriously, the same doesn't seem to hold for policy." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... A 🧵:

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

The meaning of science education isn't just: ✕ Knowing the content, nor ✕ Knowing how scientists work The major goal is: ✓ Learning to think about content like a scientist Through the content, students should understand the nature of models and learn how to infer explanations from them. #EduSky

Boundary Logic is a unary, post-symbolic logic, inspired by Charles Sanders Peirce and George Spencer Brown. The new post in the Containment series gives an overview. www.linkandth.ink/p/boundary-l... #LoF #logic #math #computing

Every academic career is built on rejection, but we don’t show it. 
CVs list publications, grants & awards, not rejected manuscripts, unfunded proposals, or failures. 
But those invisible rejections shape us more than our successes ever do. 👉 catherineeunicedevries.substack.com/p/fail-bette... 🧵

If you completely remove a problem's context and can still solve it, can it really be mathematical modeling? robertkaplinsky.com/beware-...

My time with my current employer has come to an end. I am grateful for what I have learned about myself personally & professionally during the last 3 years.

Big Doughnutty News. Just out in Nature: the all-new 2025 Doughnut. Transformed from a single-year snapshot to an annual global monitor of 21st century social & ecological thriving. Available to all in an open-access paper by @andrewlfanning.bsky.social and me. 🧵 1/ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Say it often, say it loud: "Overall, research has not supported the common-sense presumption that digital approaches to schooling are better than non-digital alternatives. At the broadest level, widespread computer use in education has been found to be associated with lower student achievement."

#EduSky #UKEd I'm creating a live sketch note on the global Sketch Your Mind week of seminars. I'm attempting to capture Jono Hey's session (author of Big Ideas, Little Pictures) Sketchplanations. Here's a promotional video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncxI...

In contrast to my criticisms of other books and publishers earlier this week, as I queue up Saturday's HRP podcast release, I have to highlight that two of the *best* education books I've read so far this year have been self-published. Huge respect to Ryan Sprott & @cmooreanderson.bsky.social!

In our latest episode, Dr. Kapono Ciotti explores the experiences that led him to co-author The Landscape Model of Learning & how students can become protagonists of their own future. www.humanrestorationproject.org/podcasts/the...

What I love most is putting flying fractal art into the big blue sky. This is Gloria Caeli (“the Glory of the Sky”) my first fullsize tiedye balloon. She’s the world’s largest tiedye, with 196 spirals, made from ~1000 meters of white nylon. So much joy, beauty and adventure ! #ArtAdventCalendar

This seems like the right kind of question to be asking. Our math-policy discourse seems to focus on indiscriminate acceleration/deceleration & less on the possibilities of changing practices within classrooms. hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

New: Our 2024 impact report is ready to share! HRP has celebrated many important milestones this year on our pathway to restoring humanity to education. See our latest impact report for an overview of our work and where we're going next. https://www.humanrestorationproject.org/impact

2/2 Can't emphasize this finding too strongly: It's not just that explicit instruction of procedures is less useful than helping kids to construct mathematical principles for themselves. It's that explicit instruction of procedures can actually do damage by impeding understanding.

1/2 Teach kids principles *and* procedures in math? Nope. This 1991 study found that the destructive effects of step-by-step direct instruction aren't offset by adding richer content: is.gd/wMYgY9. And this study 25 years later confirmed it: bit.ly/3Nt6KCY...

Yes! And the thing is, we have similar data for kids, too, showing burnout, disengagement, stress, & anxiety all characterize their school experience. If school is burning out kids & adults alike, doesn't it make sense to do SOMETHING differently??

The library people are always here to help! In this case, it's helping use #Bluesky well! #Libraries
