I spent a little time tweaking this blog layout last week. Just trying to make it look a little less cookie cutter. I also wanted to add the share buttons at the end of each post to make it easier for you to share posts via Facebook, Twitter, Google + and other social media. I hope you’ll take advantage of these if only to increase the conversations in the comments. Also I associated this blog with my personal domain so now you will see it as being at http://blog.acthompson.net I’m hoping that will make it easier to find and remember. The old address and any old links you may have used should still work just fine though.

A Passion for Math is a talk by Elly Schofield at TEDxClaremontColleges. In it she talks about what is wrong with math education. Some valuable lessons for education in a wide range of subjects though. Elly is the daughter of a friend of mind at Microsoft Research but I’d link to this even if that were not the case.
