How do you know what vocabulary to cover as you’re making educational #content ? As I learn a skill or make a project, I like to keep a list of concepts and terms to cover for the students. #education #stem

In modern #pedagogy , rote memorization has fallen out of favor (for good reason). However, having a basic grasp of vocabulary, especially around technical topics and skills, is extremely important for using that skill and interacting with other people. #teaching #education #STEM

Eclipse photos! We weren’t in totality, but it was still fun to take a break and enjoy the alignment of a star and a large space rock. #Eclipse2024

Yes, I’m a nerd. Last night, we went to see the #FinalFantasy “A New World” concert in Denver with some friends. It was fun—the chamber orchestra provided a different experience than having a full symphony (as you might find in the “Distant Worlds” concerts). #videogames #music

The bottom part of my #raspberrypi case came out pretty well. I’m happy with the way it looks and how the Pi sits. Next, I’ll work on the lid. #3Dprinting #FreeCAD

It’s not a full #LMS , but you can use #Google Forms to create quizzes and an App Script to grade those quizzes. If the student gets over a certain score, the script will then send them a certificate via email. I plan to release the code soon. #education #GAS #javascript

I know they're an Aussie band, but if I don't hear this song at an #LSU or #Saints game or at #MardiGras in the next year, I'll be sad. It's a banger 🎺 #NOLA youtube.com/watch?v=gFahTX…

If you haven’t done so already, do yourself a favor and read “Thinking, Fast and Slow.” There’s some great science in there about how our brains work along with many good takeaways for teachers. RIP Daniel Kahneman. #education #learning

The #3Dprinting adventure continues! I try 3 more iterations of the snap fit lid to see if it will hold. I think I’ve got something that will work. #FreeCAD

Jenn | Ever Intentional CircuitPython 2. I think jumping into PCB design unlocks a ton of doors, and I think folks can be ready to try it earlier than they might think! Highly recommend Shawn Hymel - @[email protected] 's KiCad tutorial - I watched it in one sitting and had custom PCBs ordered later the same day.

My journey into #FreeCAD continues. I’m working on a snap fit box. Ideally, this will become an enclosure for a #RaspberryPi . #3Dprinting

I struggle with jumping around to different projects and learning topics (there’s just so many cool things to do and learn out there!). How do you stay focused on a single project or topic of learning? #learning #education #project #focus

When I get a new 3D printer, I like to put it through its paces by making organizers, bins, holders, etc. #3dprinting

It’s been a while since I’ve painted a mini, and this weekend presented a good opportunity to pull out the brushes again 🎨🖌️ #miniaturepainting

I really should find time to bake more. Not just because I enjoy the process, but because the end product can be shared with others. Sharing joy (and good food) is incredibly rewarding. What is something you do that brings joy to others? #life #education

Berlin is high on my places to visit...and now I can say I've been there (well, sort of 😁). I'm just happy that my #FPGA videos are helping people!

I don’t believe that #AI will take over #programming jobs (at least in the next few years). It will be much like how compilers work: things like LLMs will take even higher level languages and convert them to low level languages or machine code. Where do you think AI is headed?

Help me out! When you’re learning a new tool, skill, or #programming language, when do you stop your progress in a prescribed series or book to go tackle your own project? Do you always make it to the end or stop halfway through? #education #engineering #maker
