Have you ever noticed that the save icon is a floppy disk, even though they became obsolete twenty years ago? That's called a "skeuomorph" - when something new takes on the appearance of what it replaced. And once you start to look, they're everywhere...

The author of that 1913 article on grading uses some stats to conclude that smallest separation of numerical grades that avoids reliability error is 12 points - so just A/B/C/F rather than 0-100. Then he drops the mic. #illusionofaccuracy

Students should not have to wonder how they’re going to log in for school. The @FCC and Chairman Ajit Pai could help the 15 million students who are #LoggedOut. When will they do their job and help secure #InternetForAll?

I've been asked my reaction to schools' having temporarily stopped grading students because of online instruction challenges due to the pandemic. Hmm. What would your reaction be to news that the CIA had ordered a brief moratorium on waterboarding prisoners due to a drought?

When Isaac Newton stayed at home to avoid the 1665 plague, he discovered the laws of gravity, optics, and he invented calculus. It’s rumored that there was a strict “No TV” rule in his household.

Chinese teachers used an app called DingTalk to assign homework during the quarantine, so tens of thousands of students promptly gave the app a one-star review in order that it would be removed from the App Store.
