Why didn’t I think of that? 23 Mar 2009 Kate Devitt is so much better a teacher than I am (and she’s smarter, better educated and more attractive a person, but let’s deal with just one of my insecurities at a time, hey?). I wish I had thought to teach students about Turing Machines like this. Education
Education Darwinism, Philosophy and Society 7 Jul 2010 I’m teaching, for the first time, this subject in the final semester for this year (we have a three semester structure in defiance of all etymology), and as you might expect I’m pretty au fait with it all, except for one: Darwinism and literature.

I mentioned it on my comments on Kate’s blog as well, but if you’re interested in dynamic Turing machines, I have a few here, in flash: http://inquiry.mcdaniel.edu/turing/ I think that her technique has great value, as any kind of physical activity in a classroom is likely to have cognitive payoff, but these can supplement such activity nicely.
