I Only Read The Articles: Digital Teaching
http://ionlyreadthearticles.blogspot.com/2009/01/digital-teaching.html
I Only Read The Articles. Tuesday, January 20, 2009. I wrote this up a while ago, since then I have made additional observations which I've added in brackets.]. I've been pondering the pros and cons of teaching with a tablet PC. The basic idea is to prepare some kind of material ahead of class (probably slides) and then, using the tablet PC, you can project the image and write on the slides as you give the lecture. Pro: You no longer waste as much time in class writing out equations and notes. Con: Havin...

I Only Read The Articles: December 2008
http://ionlyreadthearticles.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
I Only Read The Articles. Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Are their students typed assignments without error, but their written notes atrocious. I wouldn't be surprised if it is degrading their education. Like most technologies, they can either make you lazy, or if used properly, they can aid your learning. It is up to the user to decide. I suppose the true skill is in knowing when to use the tools and when to avoid them. In my case I think I did the right thing because it would have been cumbersome to ma...

I Only Read The Articles. Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Speak to Me Lover. And what language does nature speak. Mathematics. 8220;Nature’s grand book, which stands continually open to our gaze, is written in the language of mathematics. Its characters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures. Without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these, one is wandering around in a dark labyrinth.”. Galileo Galilei, 1623. Monday, October 20, 2008. Higher States of Being.

I Only Read The Articles: November 2008
http://ionlyreadthearticles.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
I Only Read The Articles. Sunday, November 23, 2008. I enjoy thinking about life and whether we have companions in the universe. The fascinating question - Are we alone? And beyond that, the implications, religious and otherwise. The fundamental equation for estimating the existence of other intelligent civilizations is the Drake Equation. 10 × 0.5 × 2 × 1 × 0.01 × 0.01 × 10,000 = 10. Now, where am I getting with this. Nowhere really. It is just a neat idea. I always like to think of all the ...I am sure...

I Only Read The Articles: September 2008
http://ionlyreadthearticles.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
I Only Read The Articles. Sunday, September 28, 2008. A cut and dry utilitarian perspective - the greatest good for the greatest number - suggests that their actions were completely morally acceptable. For objectivism, I've left out some details of the argument that would reinforce the utilitarian viewpoint. The question is: Is the utilitarian perspective correct? Lets change the scenario. Only two people are in the boat and one eats the other to save himself. Is it morally objectionable? The other day I...

I Only Read The Articles: Modern Digital Education - Changing the Way We Educate
http://ionlyreadthearticles.blogspot.com/2009/01/modern-digital-education-changing-way.html
I Only Read The Articles. Friday, January 16, 2009. Modern Digital Education - Changing the Way We Educate. Details of the System. A view of the system fully implemented after starting with our current system. Tablet ($100-$300 for simple versions, even wireless bluetooth versions) and a bluetooth mic ($50) can change a traditional setup to a wireless digital recording system. As the catalog of courses matures schools would become interconnected (maybe just all the public schools.) Now students are a...

I Only Read The Articles: August 2008
http://ionlyreadthearticles.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
I Only Read The Articles. Thursday, August 28, 2008. I was watching some videos on. A site which I highly recommend. Lately I have been watching random videos when I feel bored. I came across a video on genetic tracing of humanities origins. Spencer Wells - Building a family tree for humanity. Take this a little deeper, the greater idea is that we are related to all the animals on the planet. That is all, watch some more videos on TED, like these:. Jane Goodall on what seperates us from the apes. The pro...

I Only Read The Articles: Santa and Religion
http://ionlyreadthearticles.blogspot.com/2009/01/santa-and-religion.html
I Only Read The Articles. Sunday, January 4, 2009. Why do Christian parents encourage their children to believe in Santa? They let them think that there is someone special who watches your behavior and gives you gifts, then when they get old enough we tell them that Santa is not real. Yet, the Christians still expect their children to believe in God. It reminds me of a story Richard Feynman tells in ‘What do you care what other people think? October 26, 2015 at 1:37 PM.
