How to make slides containing many formulas? Powerponit or Word?
Excerpts:
F. Jordan
Assistant Professor at Lebanese American University
LaTeX with the Beamer package is the only way to go for equations in slides, in my opinion!
Here’s a good quickstart reference on Beamer: http://www.math.umbc.edu/~rouben/beamer/
For working with LaTeX, this is a really quick start guide:http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/~jhuerta/latexforbeginners.html

Try using Open Office (free download) it is a full office suite and you can insert and create formulas as easy as entering text. If needed the presentation can then be saved in Microsoft Office format.

Q:
Customer was having problems with D2L in Google Chrome. Client was not able to see discussion posts in D2L. However, it seems to be fine in Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
Scroll window is small and have to scroll down to see all the posts
A:
This is a known issue with Chrome.
To display the full discussion screen, simply grab the vertical frame divider (click and drag it) and move it a little. The rest of the screen will sort itself out.
Here’s a short screen recording about this issue which shows the workarounds in action: http://media4.stcloudstate.edu/p43737003/

Subject: [SCSU-announce] course in programming for beginners
Our beginning programming course, CNA 267, is now using Python as the programming language. Students learn to work with decision and loop control structures, variables, lists (arrays) and procedures, etc. Python is becoming one of the most widely-accepted languages for business professionals and scientists.
Please inform your students (who need to learn programming) of this course. It is being offered during spring semester, as well as next fall.

How to tell a story (6 talks)
HI, I am honored that you have written this piece about some of my ideas about preparing students for their future. Here is a link,http://novemberlearning.com/re… to an article where I describe the detail of various jobs that we can now give students. Of course, we can ask students to invent their own jobs as well. Alan
The app D’Aloisio designed, Summly, compresses long pieces of text into a few representative sentences.
Call me old fashioned but I would rephrase the title to this article as: How our diminished desire to read made the Teen D’Aloisio to change how we read.
