Math Geek Mom: A Productive Collaboration

By Rosemarie Emanuele. In Economics, “indifference curves” can be used to show that consumers will prefer mixed bundles of goods to those consisting of only one good. To illustrate this, imagine how we often serve meals consisting of a protein, a starch and a vegetable. Such a combination is certainly preferable to meals consisting of only proteins or only starches. I found myself thinking of this when I read an article appearing in Inside Higher Ed this past Monday about which pairs of co-authors seem to be most successful, claiming they are those that come from different backgrounds.

Within my first month of grad school here I developed the ‘Bones Don’t Lie’ brand, started my personal website, and started my Twitter account.

From the ever-expanding alt-ac and post-ac conversation to trends in engaged scholarship, the ability to move between academic and non-academic settings has become an increasingly valuable skill for graduate students across disciplines. Whether you’re a master’s student preparing for a non-academic job, a doctoral candidate seeking alternatives to limited tenure-track positions, or hoping to incorporate new voices and approaches into your scholarly work, mobility both within and beyond the academy forms a powerful complement to your academic background.

Outside the Classroom

By Kelly Hanson. A big focus here at Gradhacker is how to use technology to facilitate teaching, writing, and research. We’ve written in the past about how to integrate blogs, twitter, or other electronic writing mediums into the undergraduate classroom. But the question remains: how do we integrate these technologies to facilitate learning and accessibility? Basically, I’m starting with the premise that blogs, Twitter, and other electronic mediums foster discussion and communication. What I’m asking here is how we can best integrate these into the classroom. Read more...

Fixed vs Growth Mindsets

By Katy Meyers. Congratulations on becoming a grad student! You feel great about because you were one of a select few accepted into the program. You go to the first lab meeting and hear all the great things others in the lab are doing, and you realize that you’re now at the bottom of the totem pole, wondering how you’ll ever get there. You’re not alone in feeling this way. Read more...

Flipped Classes and Campus Tours

By Joshua Kim. Last week we accompanied our high school daughter (a junior) on her big college visit week. Eight schools in six days. Lots to process. By far, the most important aspect of every campus visit in determining if a given school makes “the list” is the campus tour. Read more...

Tuning in to e-Literate TV

By Joshua Kim. I love e-Literate TV.
Watching these Michael Feldstein and Phil Hill online video productions is wonderful confirmation that edtech is finally cool.
