How to Learn Math is the first MOOC (Massively Open Online Course) I have taken. Delivered by Stanford prof Jo Boaler, this free class uses many of the growth mindset ideas from Carol Dweck's book Mindset. Many of the ideas match with my own teaching and learning strategies although I wish that the first half of the course included people who love Math!
