I've been working with them for a couple of years now to use it as a pilot for a system to host more similar content. It feels like the book has a more permanent home AND has a more formal update architecture that I am less likely to break (ask me..)

Two and a half exciting updates to my hydroinformatics book (or: data science and hydrology?)
1. The materials all use the updated USGS dataRetrieval package now, yay!
Www.hydroinformaticsbook.com

@hydrochrista.bsky.social @domciruzzi.bsky.social, and I asked hydrologists across the country for their syllabi so we could investigate how instructors were teaching hydrology courses and think about the future...
Here’s what we found + suggestions

Can I get students to read... something??
In which I may be setting myself up for scheduling hell at the end of the semester and/or a failed experiment in new ways to engage with my students...

When reflecting on my student course evaluations after this semester, I thought discussion of some comments that frequently pop up might be helpful! Featuring Liz Lemon and Gandalf.

This week's two posts are about Connecting concepts and Practicing. Can you guess what Ron Swanson gif I managed to fit (maybe) into one of them?

Thanks for the shout out Paolo!
I’m excited at the ability of AI tools to get people started on apps like this. So far, I’ve found it takes some coding to make something more full-featured, but who knows what that’ll change..my guess is you could already tell this to use a specific existing model
Yesterday in my college teaching class we discussed predicting as a learning strategy.
Before you read: what do you PREDICT we thought was important in designing prediction activities for a class?

The save icon continues to be an interesting indicator of changing computer literacy/practices:
Used to be students knew it as the save icon but not that it was a floppy disk.
TODAY in class multiple students did not know what a save icon was at all!
We don’t click “save” much anymore! Do we?
Thanks Brian, awesome to hear you’re reading!

This semester, I'm going to write about what we discuss in my college teaching class. The first 2 weeks have been a doozy, but I managed to get some stuff down!
On beginner teaching philosophies and Ch 1 of McGlynn's College Science Teaching

Teach hydro modeling? Want to introduce modeling in an intro class?
Check out this web-app, activities, and code (in case you want to spin off your own)..
Thanks @jansei.bsky.social for working with me on this, which was inspired by his HBV-lite teaching software!

I spoke at our college graduation and told graduates 4 things. In retrospect those things are pretty related to teaching, so I posted them here: open.substack.com/pub/thinking...

Highly recommend. This is one of the books we work through in my College Teaching class and really helped me develop my own teaching philosophy.
