New blog: Mathemathantic by Bill Dueber

This is not me, but another blog – Mathemathantic by Bill Dueber [via Serious Instructional Technology]

Mathemathanic means something totally opposite to Mathemagenic:

Richard Clark, coined the term twenty years ago as a play on words. From “thantos”, death, it’s used to describe an instructional intervention that makes you dumber than you were before.

It’s nice to see new edublog, the name is funny, but I’m afraid that it will be too easy to confuse us…

Later: Because of this post Bill is thinking about changing his weblog title. I don’t think that it’s a good idea: that’s true that people can be confused, but this is an opportunity for a story like the one Heiko Hebig and Haiko Hebig have :)))
