pitching jupyter for highschool math "master" teachers?

[awat...@flatironinstitute.org]

Hi folks,

I work for the Flatiron Institute which is an arm of the Simons Foundation.

Another branch of the Simons Foundation is Math for America https://www.mathforamerica.org/

which supports "master math teachers" mainly at the high school.

I'm planning to pitch giving a presentation or short course to MfA awardees

about how they might find Jupyter useful

and I was wondering if anyone had any existing materials I should look at or

other advice.

Let me know if you have ideas or pointers.  Thanks!

Greeting Aaron --

I would emphasize that through Jupyter Notebooks a high schooler may

* publish content to the web at no extra cost on Github

* continue developing locally while updating globally (using git)

* get right into computing without learning lots of HTML + CSS

* Notebooks may contain embedded Youtubes, pictures, hyperlinks, in addition to data visualizations

* lots of people are using Notebooks to share tutorials and make presentations

All the same benefits accrue to teachers as well, but why not start with what students might gain, with direction from teachers?

Here's a front door into a course I share to help them get started:

Another specimen:

https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/4dsolutions/Python5/blob/master/STEM%20Mathematics.ipynb

Additionally, I'm thinking some students will find it gratifying to use extended precision libraries such as gmpy2 that will take them far beyond what a calculator or even floating point computations will do.  I've been doing research in this area myself.

Dear Aaron,

Last November, I gave a lightning presentation [1] of SageMath [2]
running in Jupyter at the high school education track of PyParis [3];
my purpose was just to wet the interest of the math teachers there by
demoing a range of basic functionalities that they had at their
fingertip. So not necessarily what you mean to achieve, but feel free
to reuse anything relevant. It's in French but should be easy enough
to translate even without knowing French.

I am interested in return by the material you'll prepare!

Cheers,
Nicolas

A few Jupyter in education resources:

"Teaching and Learning with Jupyter"
https://jupyter4edu.github.io/jupyter-edu-book/

https://github.com/quobit/awesome-python-in-education/blob/master/README.md#jupyter

https://nbgrader.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

https://github.com/ibleducation/jupyter-edx-grader-xblock

Someday, I'll finally update these:

https://wrdrd.github.io/docs/consulting/education-technology#jupyter-and-learning

https://wrdrd.github.io/docs/consulting/data-science#mathematical-notation

https://wrdrd.github.io/docs/consulting/data-science#mathjax

Thanks everybody!  The jupyter-edu-book is especially excellent!  Let me know if anyone has other suggestions.

Hi Aaron, I was wondering how your pitch went? I am a high school teacher that has been using Jupyter Notebook/Lab with Python for 5 years now and have been waiting for other High School teachers to start using it.

Thanks, Carl Savage
