Having spent a good chunk of my evening reading over Shawn Cornally’s fantastic blog “Think Thank Thunk” I’m engaged. I enjoy so much having a window into how teachers make decisions around their curriculum and class design. Knowing how someone chooses to introduce concepts and motivate students is a big bonus, and something Cornally communicates deftly. Read two posts and see if you agree. I highly recommend it.

I’ve also really enjoyed his work over the last few weeks. I’m a bit weired out by his (seeming?) lack any comment space on the blog. Maybe he’s operating at a higher level than I am, but the signal:troll ratio for comments on blogs about calc seems incredibly low to me. The decision* to remove comment entirely means that I never click through the RSS feed to his page, and don’t get sucked into the ideas the same way I do on other math blogs.
* I freely admit that I could have missed a very obvious comment link somewhere. It would make me very happy to be very wrong.
Update: Shawn is once again allowing comments on his blog.
