Debugging can be frustrating for our first time #RStats students... but maybe it can lead to a spot on Debugging Bingo! DeBug-o? DeBingo? Here's a copy if you want to include the common errors you see in your class! zurl.co/jomdx

@cogscimom and @jimstigler argue not only that algebra needs data science, but also that data science needs algebra. @EdSource #algebra #datascience edsource.org/2023/dont-force…

COMMENTARY: Don’t force a false choice between algebra and data science

Students who don't take Algebra 2 because they're more interested in data science could be shutting themselves off careers in science, technology engineering and math. But data science and Algebra 2...

“Today, we are building catapults!” is not how I usually start my stats lessons…but it was today! 😂 Students launching Gummi Bears with popsicle sticks to show measurement error with active learning?! Yes, please! 📊 Thank you for this amazing lesson, @CourseKata @cogscimom !

I love teaching R with Jupiter notebooks! The @CourseKata system integrates them very nicely. I use them for activities and group projects mostly. Also each lecture has an accompanying notebook but it’s use is optional.

By far my favorite feature of @CourseKata is the fact I can manage @ProjectJupyter notebooks INSIDE Canvas. My class will still learn how to use @rstudio, but many thanks to @CourseKata for making it super simple to get #stats students @DTSchoolSeattle coding, day one!

If 95% of a population is fully vaccinated and vaccines reduce hospitalizations by 90%, you'd expect ~2/3 of hospitalizations to be among vaccinated people.
