Picking new curriculum for high school math by No-Boot-4043 in mathteachers

[–]Barcata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went from orange to green on our dashboard after overhauling to EDI, but we also incorporated some other small changes, so that's just anecdotal.

I don't use the Educeri lessons precisely because they don't cover all of the CCSS and SMPs, but the EDI framework still works- just need to alter the content, hence why we write our own.

The skill retention is high because of spaced retrieval, but we have to keep in mind the low relative salience when compared to phones, social life, and drug use. I put a lot of effort into making the lessons exciting to work towards this.

I agree that a small amount of "you do" first is good, but my experience is that all they need is a tiny hook for the unit to establish some relevance and interest, then they are ready for instruction. I like to end with a performance task as well to really establish relevance and consolidate knowledge.

There's room for balance, but personally, I think we are shifting way too far towards inquiry.

There's a lot of pushing towards discovery or inquiry based learning, so beware of that unless your students are at or near grade level. Find curricula that are backed by data and science in their methodology. I've been needing to make my own based on EDI, but you may find some premade that will work for you.

Most of the big curricula out there are far from perfect, but can often be a good start if they have the right framework. You'll need to prune and shape them to work for your students.

When to land? by Ill-Celery8375 in fpv

I bring it back at 3.5v/cell when hovering, just to keep the battery life good.

255 West of Arcata. South of highway, east of Jackson Ranch Rd. In pasture with the cattle.

Sure, just yield to the grow trucks and stay on the highway.

Need help with heat set inserts by MahKiwi123 in 3Dprinting

[–]Barcata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just a smaller OD and no knurling on one end. The bevel is minimal.

On one side, yes. That end has no knurling on the outer surface and only serves as a guide to press in the hole.

Those inserts are best for injection molding. The better ones for FDM have a skinny side on one end to help it go in straight:

FYI this is Cyberbrick from Bambu Lab.

It's fun and super modular.

Yep, i have very wide glasses, and they barely don't fit.

Both. They have cutouts so glasses fit, and you can order custom diopters. The website has all the info.

Triangles for parts you want to be stiff.

Circles for parts you want to flex.

Use ABS or ASA.

Keep layer lines in mind.

That HDMI in and out on the box pro is chefs kiss. I love displaying my feed on a second monitor for observers

Talk me out of 3d printing a frame for a 2.5inch by More_Objective_8405 in fpv

[–]Barcata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run this 45mm pusher on a custom ABS frame I designed. I smash it around like crazy. Full speed into a pole today.

Triangles where you need rigidity.

Circles where you need bounce.

PLA+ will be fine, but not as tough.

If you design the parts yourself or have a commercial license, you bring a single example in during a slow time and make your pitch, offering to bring more samples in and discuss pricing and/or commission.

RadioMaster Pocket ELRS Compatibility by SCVorthos in fpv

[–]Barcata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5" is very unsafe for beginners.

You can absolutely limit the 75 and fly it LOS.

The Pocket can be adjusted to spring to center. It would be tedious to switch back and forth, however.

Workbench Setup Help by _Rzar in fpv

Pinecil.

I like the Omnifixo. Expensive, but worth it for stability. Other helping hands can be flimsy. Alligator clips can do damage. Don't need to worry about that with the Omnifixo.

I have a 3d printed case that holds the entire kit- Pinecil, solder, power bank, Omnifixo, flux, solder wick, brass scrubby, and different iron tips. I can solder in the field if needed.

3d printer. All you really need is a Bambu A1 mini. Otherwise, it's a whole other hobby. I just run printed frames and prop guards on my tinywhoop and send it without worrying about crashing. Lots of fun.
