Appreciating Math in the Social Media Era
Saturday October 26, 2024 10:05am - 11:20am PDT
Glacier, Westin
Social Media can be a powerful tool to discover and build an appreciation for your passions. As a math professor and YouTuber, I teach math in very different contexts. While physical classrooms allow for deep connections with students over time, online platforms offer unprecedented reach to inspire millions worldwide. In both, part of the goals of learning math is not just about developing a set of technical skills but building an appreciation and enjoyment for math. In this talk, I want to focus on the lessons I’ve learned from working in social media and how that has evolved my own pedagogical practices in the classroom.
