Hi Ginny, I ran this script in the Terminal application on my Mac. I wrote the script in a text editor using the Python scripting language. Then I typed in “python filename.py” in the Terminal, which executed the code.

I took an HTML class years ago and I can make sense of the scripts themselves. (Well… enough to understand the basics…) But where exactly do you run such a script? I love the idea of teaching problem solving through programming. I’ve always gotten stuck on how to make that happen. This gives me new things to think about.

The ideal would be to do what Dan does, speakers post their own videos and someone (like the Math Forum) could organize them on an NCTM site for easy access. MF already does it with the Ignite sessions. I can dream can’t I? :-)

Interesting. I only know how to scrape resources from web pages. I wonder if the emails exist in that form somewhere.

I’m on a very active email list serve for NSTA (the science equivalent). It’s a fabulous resource from an active community – the issue is that all of the resources are divided into countless emails. I wonder if there’s a way to scrape the data into a website.

The learning curve, as things stand now though, is non-trivial.

I often ask myself (and others that have experienced this power) how we make this sort of task compelling and accessible so that more teachers learn to do it.
