At Tuva (tuvalabs.com), we are creating an environment to learn foundational statistics and data analysis concepts and skills that go well beyond just video instruction. To get a feel for experience, check out a 30 sec demo here: https://vimeo.com/137256993
Have yet to go through Evan's post, but as you point out, the equations might be the most accessible way to truly comprehend relationships between 4 or more variables.
However, libraries like Tangle are powerful tools to visualize and understand relationships between 2-3 variables.
Thanks for the feedback. There is a lot of work that still needs to be done to improve the UI for these tools, but our goal is to build a library of such visual tools for tens of relevant topics.
Precisely. In physics, testing extreme cases and boundary conditions is one of the first ways to get a better understanding of a system. Tangle can be a great tool to empower learners to do this visually.
We are wholly inspired by Bret's work, and are currently playing around with the tangle library to help students visualize the concept of area, perimeter, and volume. Here is a preview: http://tuvalabs.com/resources/area/
We also plan to open source this code in due time. Ignore the mess please.
i have been using a variety of extensions (bitly, etc.) for awhile now and have never had an issue like this before. I can log into fb, but nothing shows up on the initial page.
I am learning django/web development, and will likely be launching my app in the wild soon. A link that details out how to manage deployment and source code management using git would be tremendously helpful.
Feynman clearly mentions in "Surely You are Joking..." that he got turned down from Columbia for his undergraduate degree due to Jewish quotas that existed among universities at that time. So yes, it certainly mattered in America in the 1940s.
Can't find the link at the moment, but this is incorrect. The first results that came out of the initial trial showed no significant improvement in student performance using KA's approach compared to the traditional approach.
I believe there is a startup from this semester's Imagine K-12 batch that is working on a similar product, albeit its more twitter like. Here it is: http://www.remind101.com/
Teacher/parent is definitely a more viable place to start this kind of a tool. Good luck!
