Fresno State math lecturer Howie Hua shares his passion for numbers and what he calls his “simple” teaching strategies on Twitter to more than 5,000 followers.

He admits he used to be greedy with what he knew. After all, why should he share his classroom secrets with others, especially on the internet? But Hua, who has taught future math teachers at Fresno State for four years, came to a realization.

“If everyone did that, no one’s going to grow as much as if we all learn together,” said Hua, a Hanford native who earned his bachelors and master’s degrees along with a single subject teaching credential at Fresno State.

Tuesday, Feb. 11, was Safer Internet Day, a worldwide campaign to encourage people to work “together for a better internet.” The day promotes a safe and positive use of digital technology while raising awareness of online safety issues.

At Fresno State, faculty members are working to create a cybersecurity career education pipeline for students interested in the field. Cybersecurity research is also underway. But people like Hua and others are doing their part to promote fun, creative and safe use of the internet.
