iPad apps for math

A colleague had sent this link to me about Twitter applications for business after I commented on how I was trying to see how some of the technology had practical applications in my classroom. So, I share it with you here.

How can I license my work? There is no registration to use the Creative Commons licenses. Licensing a work is as simple as selecting which of the six licenses best meets your goals, and then marking your work in some way so that others know that you have chosen to release the work under the terms of that license.

This article provides 10 strategies to integrate Twitter in the College Classroom. My favorites include: a) creating a course hashtag to build learning community and share relevant news and content with the class me.mbers, and b) provide basic Twitter training and an overview of Twitter terms and language

The Matlab tools are extremely helpful in mathematical modeling and run very well on a home computer. My application was in software engineering at the Master's level. Student license costs are about $200 - $300 or so, depending how many tools are downloaded.

download problems of the month For a high school math teacher, or anyone that likes to solve math problems, this was a fun place to find. I might give some of my honors level juniors a few of these as class openers or closers.

Sustained, high-quality student participation usually doesn't happen on its own in the online learning environment. The instructor needs to model participation, create assignments that encourage it, and foster an environment that supports it. Here are some ways that I promote student participation in my online courses.

I've been experimenting with virtual labs in my physics courses - here's a bit of independent support for that notion. So far I've simply used the University of Colorado PhET site, but am interested to find other sources too. Wonder if anyone else has taken a more considered approach to multimedia "virtual" learning tools.

This is the summary that comes with the article. Social networking is a topic I have extensively covered here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning during this year. I am also preparing an ebook about it which I will publish here in the next coming weeks. Why next coming weeks and not this week ?

I could see using this in my College Success course. That class lends itself more to discussion in this forum.

Excellent FREE site for math and sciences. All grade levels. Short video clips using a blackboard with verbal direction. Great depth of content available. Would be helpful to post on course site, saving you from creating the videos.

Thank you for sharing this link. I just heard about these free videos yesterday and was quite impressed and curious about them. I'd like to find a similar great resource for my discipline of accounting.

From kindergarten to calculus, Khan Academy is here to help. You may have heard about our videos, but did you know that Khan Academy has fun interactive math exercises that cover skills ranging from counting to calculus, grade by grade? Every exercise has step-by-step hints, so your child can practice as much as needed.

This article was helpful in understanding ways to incorporate Prezi in my online course.

I know many people use Google Docs for collaborative writing - I used to use Google Docs all the time as well, but OneNote Online is my new favorite! It has a book-like layout and you can create several tabs for different groups so everyone has their own space (their own page in a tab), which is less confusing than Google Docs.

According to ACTFL, foreign language learners need as much as 240+ hours of input to reach an intermediate level of proficiency. I'm looking into ways to use Twitter together with other applications like Feedly to encourage students to become autonomous learners and get more input from authentic francophone listening and reading sources. I can help them navigate through the sea of information available by sending them my suggested feeds and then practice using the target language by discussing topics together. Feedly is used to create a personal list of RSS feeds to favorite online news, video, audio and learning sources and save, publish and/or share them with others via an RSS reader application or even Twitter.

I have been looking for labs I could add to my online science classes. This article shares some interesting tools that could be used for this purpose. If anyone finds any specific to Anatomy and Physiology, I would love to see them!

Video lessons are one of the primary technology tools used to deliver content in blended/flipped classrooms. The learning happens at home and when students are in class, they participate in active-learning activities or group work. Great to try out with a few lessons in f2f classes as well. It greatly increases student engagement and participation.

Thanks for sharing. This was a nice contrast to a previous article which focused on no video use in a flipped environment.

TT1921: (M Oyeleye) I am always researching for ways to improve my teaching, learning and technology know-how. I am sharing this link as it has the following apps information within: 1. Apps for teaching students how to present, create and code 2. Apps for everyday classroom needs 3. Apps for collaborating on school projects 4. Apps for communicating with students and their families Enjoy!
