MVCR Tech Tools

This abstract written by an engineering professor at Cal Poly Engineering offers research and support for a new trend in education called, "the Inside-Out Classroom." The abstract describes how the inside out classroom is a win-win-win strategy for teaching with technology. Instructors create "chunks" of core content in a digital, lecture-capture format. These resources are then stored online for students. These are short videos that students watch before attending class sessions. Students study core content for a course online on their own, and then complete assignments during in-class sessions.

Technology and education are pretty intertwined these days and nearly every teacher has a few favorite tech tools that make doing his or her job and connecting with students a little bit easier and more fun for all involved.

This is my scrapbook of what I have learned at TT1311. Enjoy:))

This article is about the Job Search process for college students.

Up to date information on depression, bipolar disorder, and all mood disorders.

Technology drives me crazy sometimes

This search tool is wonderful! It allows the clinican to input patient data and search most likely diagnosis as well as providing red flags on questions and conditions which must be considered. It is a valuable tool to improve clinical decision making,

This is a link to a wiki where people can prove that 0.9999999 is equivalent to 1. This qualifies as a wiki because anyone can edit the page (the earliest entry I found was from 2008.) I like this wiki because it shows many ways to prove the two values are equivalent. Some of the proofs are rather simple and can be understood by students in an beginning or intermediate algebra class. I would use this wiki in my teaching by asking students if they agree with the proofs and to come up with their own proofs for the values.

It took me about an hour to find this podcast. I wanted a podcast that addressed topics that are could be understood by a student in a college level math class. These short podcast give a step by step solution for various algebra problems and could be used as a supplemental way of explaining a particular problem. I would use these podcast if there were a few more examples for each topic. For instance, I would like at least 3 podcast for the common denominator problem. I would probably use the podcast as a section review or with a worksheet that had similar examples.

This is survey I created that I would give to my students on the first day of class. The survey tries to figure out how students feel about math courses they have taken.
