Keith's Bookmarks

Correlation Session: Presentation on scatter diagrams, strong and weak correlation, positive and negative correlation, lines of best fit, extrapolation and interpolation. Aimed at UK level 2 students on Access and GCSE Maths courses. I've posted this to slideshare.
HackerspaceWiki: I want a hackerspace NOW
Quick number questions [pdf]: Handout: some practice to review number basics. Used to drive a tutorial.
The Philips-Miller Film Recorder: I'm listening to the CD transcription of a 1939 live recording of Bach's St Matthew Passion made using this system. Sounds remarkably clear. Only one microphone!
Bullring Shop | Created in Birmingham: They have Mother's day cards according to twitter. Go and buy something.
Assorted Experience: Web gallery with Image Magick: This works, but I commented out the mkdir command for a directory where new images are being added.
HTML and CSS Table Border Style Wizard: Handy page for styling tables in CSS instead of the table tags
PROFESSORMATRONIC: Essay about the effect of electronic submission and online marking on the dynamics of a class and the feelings that students have about their writing. Good for discussion. Via Jerz
iPhone lessons from Google's Nexus One | Phones | iPhone Central | Macworld: "Android seems different. In fact, Android doesn't seem to have been designed with the existence of personal computers in mind. You can use an Android phone even if you never, ever connect it to a computer." Mobile phone as THE computer. Probably all most people actually need.
An interview with Jason Rohrer on The Setup: "My main computer these days is a broken Dell Inspiron 4100 that my sister was going to throw away - I got it for free. It has a 950 MHz processor and 256 MiB of RAM"
Random Numbers, Probability, Perlin Noise at daniel shiffman: Getting a little more computational

About

Keith shortly after coffee

Who are you? I'm Keith Burnett and I live and teach Maths in Birmingham, UK. Contact me at ping dot keith at googlemail.com.

What do you do? I support teachers using computers and the Internet to enhance learning. I'm trying to make Moodle a normal thing to use, like e-mail.

Why does it matter? Students want to do learning on the Web, and teachers need to track progress and encourage self-directed learning. Everyone has to work smarter.

How do I start? Start now with something simple, like a class blog. Find the people who support elearning in your college.
