The Socratic Method: Teaching by Asking Instead of... →
dailymeh:
Rick Garlikov taught a normally-gifted third grade class binary. By (almost) only asking questions. The advantages of this method are obvious:
It gives constant feed-back and thus allows monitoring of the students’ understanding as you go. So you know what problems and misunderstandings or lack of understandings you need to address as you are presenting the material. You do not need...

If Americana, Appalachian, Old-Timey music infused with a punk attitude sounds attractive to you then check this out. These guys are absolutely crazy on stage with a ton of power and...

Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dematerialisation of Supervillain Architecture.
This is a very interesting blog post about a lecture discussing the dematerialization of ‘Super villain Architecture’ in film and its impact on set design. It discusses this in regard to the notion that villains no longer control an impenetrable fortress, thus the decline of...

Say no to the auto bailout →
“A taxpayer bailout would be a terrible mistake. It would subsidize the shoddy management practices of the corporate bureaucrats at General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, and it would reward the intransigent union bosses who have made the synonymous with inflexible and anti-competitive work rules.”

The life of a Ph.D. student
This is the funny but true content of an email I received from a fellow Ph.D. student. I am in year five.
Before joining PhD: * I want to win the Nobel Prize. * I want to win the Turing Award. First year of PhD: * I want to finish PhD in two years. * I want to publish papers only in top tier conferences. * I want to make ground-breaking research. * I want to win the best PhD Thesis...

I Didn't Vote for Obama Today →

I just can’t stop welling up with tears today. This article didn’t help any.
I think Sarah Palin just voted for Obama
julie911:
Asked who she voted for, she became defensive and said: “I am also exercising my right to privacy and I don’t have to tell anybody who I vote for.”
Really? Because I would expect the republican vice-president nominee to answer this question with “It’s no secret, I voted for McCain, of course!”.

Another Tumblr Idea: Volume 3
It would also be great if you could organize the Tumblrs that you follow. I don’t even follow that many people, 43 if you are interested in knowing, but I know that many of you follow hundreds of people at a time. My example of such a categorization system would include: academics, bacon, humor, music, photography, politics, sports and other.

My family fled from Afghanistan in 1980 because of the Soviet invasion and since they believed in democracy, working hard, and living a simple and succesful life - they couldn’t do that in fear or war. My young parents (with their first child, me, en utero) were eventually assigned to Edmond, Oklahoma where they started with only a suitcase and an American dream. Both my parents received...
Another Tumblr Idea: Post-specific-addresses
When I click through a post on my dashboard, tumblr directs me to the site page with an address specifically for that post. (Correction. Apparently you can only achieve this if you click through the name of the Tumblr from which a post was reposted.) It would be great if when I filtered ‘my posts’ I could then click on the post and be taken to the page with an address specifically for...
