The Math Forum: Philadelphia Engineering / Math Challenge |#stem #mathematics http://t.co/YqJJnAKSt6

Online Communities of Enquiry in Mathematics Education. A free article in a conversational style with practical tips for online communications and learning. Colin McAllister and Rebecca Hanson ask: What is it like to take part in online discussions? How do moderators and contributors create active and successful conversations? How is the technology employed in the management of discussion forums evolving? What could be achieved through discussion forums in the future?

We need a simple way to communicate math on the Web. I'm often amazed that a really popular math forum like Ask Dr Math has these tedious math typing suggestions where you have to enter hundreds of spaces to get things to line up.

Math forum for tech tools, lessons and more. Use search bars to specify grade, topic and tech of choice. Found on diigo in education, looks quite useful!

Bring Geometry to Life with Google SketchUp Welcome to 3DVinci's Math Forum Page! Google SketchUp is a free, fun, easy-to-use 3D modeling application. Originally created for architects and designers, SketchUp is also a great tool for teaching geometry. The resources on this page will help you bring SketchUp into your classroom and show you some wonderful projects in 2D and 3D geometry.

implications for using games for learning

"In this paper, we will describe work that we have done in this direction using as a test-bed an edu-game for number factorization, Prime Climb. This game includes a pedagogical agent that provides adaptive interventions during game playing based on a model of student learning [13, 18]. Here we focus on how we re-implemented the original Prime Climb game into a framework that enables rapid prototyping and testing of different design hypothesis. We also discuss preliminary work on using eye tracking data on user attention patterns to better understand if and how students process the agent‟s adaptive interventions." (from the introduction)
