Astronomy. A simple question about square and cube roots pulled us into a conversation about string theory and conceptualizing multiple dimensions.<br /><br />I have found my catch phrase, I hate lectures but love conversations. I encourage every student to find a way to get excited about the topic through videos (God bless YouTube), up to date info, and statistics.<br /><br />Great and timely post, I look forward to seeing this blog with its many different voices discover its potential.Phil Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938707552495871086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-47418742997623971662011-01-20T23:26:03.269-05:002011-01-20T23:26:03.269-05:00Love the way you dissected differentiation and lea...Love the way you dissected differentiation and learning styles without even mentioning Gardner or multiple intelligences.

I'm so glad this blogs continues. You are truly inspiring (something that I've rarely said to someone outside of my own family). Please keep the thoughts coming.

I understand the argument about how difficult it is to actually see planets next to stars.<br /><br />I felt like his argument would have been improved with a bit more explanation of why a fraction of an arc second is difficult to see. Sometimes I think numbers obfuscate an argument, rather than making it clearer.<br /><br />How could we adapt this lesson to students who want to learn by engagement? Could we do a much shorter presentation and include more engagement from the students?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08098221991466148258noreply@blogger.com
