    Reflection questions to support personal statement writing:    https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/10/21/what-do-you-want-to-be-when-you-grow-up-is-a-horrible-question/ How to get paid to learn:  https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/07/23/get-paid-to-learn-six-practices-to-earn-scholarships/ What students learn when we focus on Equity...  https://jeffandersonmath.wordpress.com/2021/12/10/grade-for-equity-as-a-college-math-instructor-round-2/ Educators whether that be the humans in the Financial Aid / Scholarship Department or the professors of your courses are performing weekly miracles and delivering exceptional service just to stay sane... while doing the best they can given what they know, how they were treated, and why they are here.   Always actively and consciously, be curious, kind, empathetic, and thoughtful when engaging with others. This is a learned skill that you have the opportunity to develop in every interaction with another human. This is in essence what keeps humanity moving forward rather than backward.   Affirmation: Personnel is Policy, we are the system - recognize we are the institution, we are the knowledge holders. Say "I am an institution, I'm a school, I'm a library" not with hubris, but with humility... b/c we know that 1st generation, Black Indigenous Students of Color, hold schools & libraries within them. Each of you have the ability to empower the people the people in your lives, we believe in you!   I hope this chat inspires you to read the hyperlinks in the description and inspires you to do your own research about the scholarship journey. Doing well in your classes and reflecting on how those classes will matter in your near / far future is a beautiful act of scholarship.

  • The longer you wait for the future, the shorter it will be. May we remember to extend our family friends, mentor mentees, and even adversaries, Grace.

    Jennifer's youtube description pasted here:

    This is a special one for me. This was one of the first songs my Grandmother taught me to sing. We lost her in the November of 2015 and I regularly wonder if she would have been proud of me and the music I now make. As you probably know by now music is a very emotional thing for me and so when I recorded this one I tried to picture myself singing this for my Grandmother, and that she was right there beaming with pride. ✨  Join my Patreon community for Zoom hangouts and exclusive updates: https://www.patreon.com/jenniferowens Stream/download my covers and originals on Spotify/Apple/Amazon etc. with this link: https://smarturl.it/JOMusic Instagram: @jenniferowensmusic Tik Tok: @jenniferowens_ Facebook: @jenniferowensmusic

  • Educators and Students, remember you are not a One Man Band.

    In preparation for leading the learning STEM segment of the TechCore Summer institute 2021 at FH, for our first gathering, I will play a sample of this song to remind us to harmonize together. I will not and can not be a One Man Band. We have a lot to offer our families, communities, and the world when we engage in deep learning of stem, so let's learn in reflection, collaboration, and solidarity.

  • Do let me know your thoughts of this episode at the bottom of this post! 

    https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/04/25/where-our-story-begins-be-a-good-ancestor/

    Thank you so much for listening. I have a lot to learn from you, and I would love to.

  • This is a narration of the blog post entitled What is deep learning? We discuss working definitions of learning, deep learning, and shallow learning. We explore the idea that deep learning involves two separate tasks: understanding and remembering. We also explore 5 useful strategies for improving your ability to remember ideas as you learn deeply. We also present 4 less-than-optimal strategies that lead to diminished capacity to recall ideas and result in shallower learning. We end this post with some challenges to our Learning Code community to build your own knowledge from this discussion. Remember: you can learn anything. When you work hard using effective learning strategies, when you have the courage to make mistakes, reflect on your errors, and make corrections, your brain grows and you build new skills. Si se puede (Yes you can!).

    A msg Don wrote me an hour after our talk: 

    I was already well prepared for those semesters when I had school, work, and club projects simultaneously. I already had many of the dots connected, and I could relatively easily pinpoint the holes in my knowledge and how to fill them.   This helped estimate how long it would take to learn each individual lesson or do some task or homework. Also, my knowledge from Formula SAE already covered a lot of the content both in classes and in my job.   A bunch of my time ended up being just busywork of going through the motions to reinforce things I already knew, and only a smaller and more manageable amount of my time involved learning new things. The same goes for that day when you saw me taking notes quickly and only half paying attention while writing down a lot of information. I already understood most of the concepts covered in that talk, and I would only tune in 100% when I heard something that I wasn't really familiar with.   I already had a mental model ready to go and all my relevant life experiences up until that point had prepared me to go in ready to just learn a little bit more, rather than needing to learn from square 1 every little detail. If there's anything that you could highlight in post editing or in the comments or video/audio descriptions, I'd say its the amount of work that I put in beforehand on my own time that made the actual class, project, or job significantly easier.

  • I wrote a more comprehensive/contemplative version of this podcast here:

    https://thelearningcode.school.blog/2021/01/08/human-capital/

    Please leave a comment at the bottom of the blog piece to help me empower you... 

    Excerpt: So it’s quite natural to work at one of these large companies. But when human capital goes there, what products are they working on? It’s like unfettered free agents. Imagine you had a pro sports league with no salary cap. What would you do? You would go and hire and sign every single ‘great’ player and stick them on the bench (lol). You’d be guaranteed to win a championship, you’d be a monopolistic championship winner year in year out.

  • At 14 years old, Hamilton became a clerk at the import-export firm where he charted routes for ships, and tracked goods - some of those ships included slaves - his abolitionist leanings later in life were influenced by what he experienced. What have you seen and how do you plan on truncating bigotry, prejudice, or partisanship
