Please do not use AI to grade. If demands on your time are such that you cannot provide students with timely and substantive feedback, that is a labor issue, and you should join your union. open.substack.com/pub/marcwatk...

Hey #MathEd folks,
I'm looking for resources to supplement my #stats class - videos, articles, etc. that:
-provide real-world examples of the concepts in action
-discuss the development of concepts/tools
-describe concepts and tools in intuitive or animated ways
-etc.

Whenever rich men known to be liars—and exactly the sort of people who'd never give up any power granted to them—claim that they're telling the truth and are extremely willing to give up any power granted to them, there's something endemic in major media that seems predisposed to accept such claims.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Just because AP courses are hard doesn't mean they're good. 25 years ago I wrote about how we confuse those 2 things: is.gd/mfScd4. (Much earlier, Dewey said the value of what students do “resides in its connection with a stimulation of greater thoughtfulness, not in the greater strain it imposes.")

Question for #MTBoS #iteachmath:
What are your favorite websites to go to for either (1) Warm Up activities or (2) 3-act math tasks?
Some of the sites I've used over the years have moved or are no longer active. So trying to get some fresh ideas and update my list!

The best way for higher education to confront generative AI is to train humans to think like humans. That way, when it becomes inevitable that we have to use AI, we'll have a human foundation for it.
But we've been teaching students to think like machines for decades. AI just makes it easier.
