I alter the pages locally in JupyterLab and then push my changes to the cloud. As long as the cloud version is open to the public, there’s no charge.
I’m role modeling the Silicon Forest teacher, who is also a curriculum developer working with peers, at the school / faculty level, using open source methods and tools. Other faculty are free to fork my repository and take it in new directions. Or since it’s a liberal open source license, they’re free to just recycle the ideas.
That’s what I’m doing too, recycling ideas relating to:
- number sequences (e.g. in OEIS)
- associated geometric interpretations (i.e. figurate & polyhedral numbers)
- short computer programs (in Python, Julia, other languages)
- interactive Jupyter Notebooks (compatible with several languages)
Having been a participant in the so-called Math Wars for some decades, I am aware that 99.9% of…
