Jupyter Notebook is a surprisingly powerful teaching tool.
If you are an educator, engineer or scientist and haven’t heard about Jupyter, you should take the time to learn about it.
Tim O’Reilly said that Jupyter is “the next big thing.”
This technology received the 2017 ACM Software System Award.
Essentially, Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web application to create and share documents with live code, equations, visualizations, and text.
Currently, it is mostly used for Data Science and Machine Learning, but it goes far beyond. Its tools are easily extensible – e.g., you can play mp4 movie files.
In education, Jupyter opens a new pedagogical model. It is also a new genre of OER.
