While the measurement of domestic electric power use are technically continuous, they have elements of discrete math, too.

Benjamin suggests that we focus on statistics and probability rather than calculus as the pinnacle.
-
Add Sticky NoteSomeone always asks the math teacher, “Am I going to use calculus in real life?” And for most of us, says Arthur Benjamin, the answer is no. He offers a bold proposal on how to make math education relevant in the digital age. (Recorded at TED@PalmSprings 2009, February 2009 in Palm Springs, California. Duration: 2:59)

As with electronic revolution, we need to shift from continous to discrete math.

Google Edu's introduction to Computational Thinking and resources to help students and teachers develop it.
-
Add Sticky NoteWhat is Computational Thinking? Computational thinking (CT) involves a set of problem-solving skills and techniques that software engineers use to write programs that underlay the computer applications you use such as search, email, and maps. Below is a list of specific techniques along with real world examples from our every day lives.
-
One attempt to get students engaged in this work included an open source programming component. Our students did not yet have the skills to help solve it using programming approaches. So, I have been thinking how to approach the problem through computational thinking about data that will lead to better interpretation and more motivation to find programming solutions.
-
The site describes each of these skills and techniques in more detail and provide resources to support the development of them in ourselves and our students.

Dean Shareski created a video manifesto on the rational for teachers to share more broadly and consistently. If teachers are going to do this, they need some support to make it happen.
-
Add Sticky NotePresentation Description: This keynote looks at the new obligation of sharing for educators. With stories from the a variety of sources, the fact that we now have the ability to teach and share beyond our classrooms is moving from “nice to do” to “necessary to do”. See if you agree.
-
Can our student help us get there? Will they get good value from the learning opportunity, too?
-
This presentation makes the case that sharing is not merely useful but essential. The tools make it feasible.

Research support and Independent External Evaluations for the GenYES approach to technology support and integration.
-
GenYES - Research and Evaluation
GenYES is one of most researched educational technology programs in the United States. Since the start of the Technology Innovation Challenge Grant (TICG) in 1996, an annual, independent external evaluation has been completed by the Northwest Regional Education Laboratory (NWREL). NWREL is now known as Education Northwest.

This abstract describes the work of a group learning to improve science learning. "Engaging Students in the Science and Engineering Practices of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) with Computer Supported Collaborative Science (CSCS)"
-
Abstract: Computer Supported Collaborative Science (CSCS) is a methodology that uses collaborative cloud-based resources to engage all learners in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of individual data in the context of whole-class data. CSCS turns hands-on classroom activities into more authentic scientific experiences, engaging students in the science and engineering practices specified in Dimension-1 of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
