In this Tinderbox Meetup, we spent the first part of the session exposing the theory and virtues of Tinderbox and how it benefits us all in our personal and collaborative exploration of knowledge. In the second half of the meetup, Becker did a deep dive into how he has/is developing a system for grading and assessing student work. As discussed in the meetup, not everyone will be interested in how Tinderbox can be used for teaching, grading in particular, but everyone can benefit from watching the application of Tinderbox in this context as they can learn about different problem-solving approaches, notes, attributes, prototypes, action code, and various operators.
To be clear, this meetup is dense. As we discussed at the end, this meeting will be best consumed with the pause button at the ready. We go into detail on a ton of Tinderbox operations in a very short period of time. Many might find the approach overwhelming. At the 24-minute mark, i.e., just before we started the deep dive, Michael Becker recorded a small video and inserted it into the meetup stream. This video summarizes the end point of what the following hour gets us to. Hopefully, by seeing where we end up, you’ll have a better chance of following how we got there. Again, there is a massive amount of information conveyed in today’s meeting. Please add to the comments if you have any questions about the specific tips & tricks conveyed, logic approaches, or specific Tinderbox operations.
