February 20 Day 349: Florida Celebration

I want to give a shout out to all of the executive officers in the MAA Florida section meeting. They were the test subjects for all the virtual spring MAA section meetings to come. The background. The pandemic has stressed everyone. Several members of the FL MAA executive committee resigned this year because they didContinue reading “February 20 Day 349: Florida Celebration”

February 19 Day 348: Tech Lessons

Despite best intentions, it is critical to test everything…twice. Learning technology limitations the hard way is never fun. It’s like the first time you learn that a shared Google document can only accommodate 100 users. Or that a screen shared from an iPad user does not allow for zoom annotation by others but an iPadContinue reading “February 19 Day 348: Tech Lessons”

February 17 Day 346: The Season of Spring Meetings

The coming weekend marks the first of many MAA Section Meetings to be held this “Spring”. Both the Florida Section (February 19-20) and the Golden Section (representing Northern California, Northern Nevada, and Hawaii, February 26-27) are typically held early in the meeting season. I think, so they can boast about their beautiful and temperate weather.Continue reading “February 17 Day 346: The Season of Spring Meetings”

February 16 Day 345: Transcription Errors 2.0

Automatic transcriptions of Zoom recordings can occasionally miss the mark. I’m just going to leave this here and see if anyone one can figure out the statement of the Theorem that Zoom transcribed as follows: Durham sandpoint suddenly G one g to be groups and suppose that you want his own workplace. Do you energyContinue reading “February 16 Day 345: Transcription Errors 2.0”

February 9 Day 338: I Was Today Years Old…

Mindblown! Our world is amazing and I have so much more to learn. Today I learned that you can be in two Zoom meetings at the same time ON THE SAME COMPUTER. ( I haven’t quite figured out the sound controls for two meetings but no one was speaking in the Math meeting as weContinue reading “February 9 Day 338: I Was Today Years Old…”

January 15 Day 313: Transcription Errors

Recording a zoom lecture to the cloud will create an audio transcription. In math, the interpretation of what we say can be amusing. While posting yesterday’s class, these beauties caught my eye. What Zoom thought What was said IRL …rotating an accident… …rotating a hexagon… parody parity serum necessary no theorem necessary What group isContinue reading “January 15 Day 313: Transcription Errors”

October 2 Day 208 Part 2: After

It was relaxing. A Zoom meeting with mathematical friends, both old and new, to collaboratively color online. The conversation flowed effortlessly as we concentrated on filling in white spaces with splashes of joyful color. There were four images to choose from (see them in their original form in this morning’s post.) and below you seeContinue reading “October 2 Day 208 Part 2: After”

September 28 Day 204: OMG! Zoom 5.3

Two days until my first class and I still have so many preparations to complete. But this new Zoom release has me smiling from ear to ear. What’s the big deal? First, you can create breakout rooms where the participants can choose which room they go to themselves! Co-hosts have always had this potential butContinue reading “September 28 Day 204: OMG!
