Web 2.0 Tools for Math Educators | Digital Learning Environments - 7 views

  •  
    This is a continuing series on Web2.0 and other web-based tools for educators. This information is specific to math educators, but there is some crossover into ccience. Math educators will find a large number of useable interactive companion web sites for the teaching of math concepts and skills.

Tips on Inspiring Student Curiosity - Teaching Now - Education Week Teacher - 0 views

  •  
    "teacher-ready tips for stimulating curiosity in others. First, she suggests starting with the question, rather than the answer-which teachers will recognize as the foundation of inquiry-based or discovery learning (see: math teacher Dan Meyer's take on how to make math "irresistible" to students). She then suggests offering some initial knowledge on the subject. "We're not curious about something we know absolutely nothing about," she writes. Again, teachers may know this as "activating prior knowledge" or "setting the stage" before a lesson. Finally, she says it helps to require communication, or "open an information gap and then require learners to communicate with each other in order to fill it." The think-pair-share technique and vocabulary activities that require students to teach each other their words both exemplify this. What would you add to the list? How does stimulating curiosity gel with other motivation tactics-or should teachers think of curiosity and motivation as one and the same?"

Flipping with Kirch: Critics of the Flipped Classroom - 0 views

  •  
    The purpose of this blog is to have a place to reflect and analyze the use of my "flipped classroom" method of teaching during the 2012 spring semester in my two math classes: Algebra 1 and Math Analysis Honors. My goal is to able to see what is working, what isn't, and what could use improvement as I strive to continue to help my students succeed at their highest level!"

Thinking Blocks - Model and Solve Math Word Problems - 2 views

  •  
    "Thinking Blocks is a suite of learning tools designed to help students solve math word problems accurately and efficiently. Using brightly colored blocks, students model mathematical relationships and identify known and unknown quantities. The model provides students with a powerful image that organizes information and simplifies the problem solving process. By modeling increasingly complex word problems, students develop strong reasoning skills which will facilitate the transition from arithmetic to algebra."

Kindergarten Math on the iPad…Many Questions… | Langwitches Blog - 1 views

  •  
    "As you are watching, ask yourself: What changed by using, in this case, the iPad and ShowMe app? Could the same [learning] have been accomplished by keeping students' illustrations analog? Was there differentiation potential? Can this type of "activity" be used as an assessment to replace/upgrade traditional assessment? Are the movie clips potential artifacts for digital portfolios? Could these movie clips be part of a variety of student work at a parent-teacher conference? Was any learning amplified by placing it on the classroom blog to share with families? What skills were practiced? What literacies were supported? Was it worth the extra time investment, the learning curve?"

BalancEdTech - Apps Taskonomy - 2 views

  •  
    "The iPad (or iPod touch or iPhone) with its apps opens many new opportunities for learning. At the same time, it offers a slightly different wrapper for older learning opportunities. Both can be worthwhile, but it would be a shame if teachers missed the former for the latter. And, if past experience and research is any indication, educators are much more likely to co-opt the new technology to accomplish the status quo. This activity is designed to help teachers think through both opportunities and to categorize those apps that lend themselves to either or both. Teachers will start by exploring a variety of apps, some that lend themselves to learning content such as math facts or spelling words and others that can be used in open ended content creation such as storytelling or photography. Then, teachers will examine a set of lessons that use these apps. Finally, teachers will use a "taxonomy" such as Bloom's Taxonomy, SAMR, LoTi, ETaP, Prensky, etc. and attempt to classify/categorize where the apps fall. Most likely teachers will need to contextualize the app to a particular use/activity. Ideally, teachers will realize that in most cases it is not the app itself, but the use that detrmines where it falls and that the apps belong in multiple places. "

    Spring Branch ISD is now working with MangaHigh. They are uploading student rosters for teachers so that SBISD teachers can assign challenges to their students. It's a great motivational tool to which our teachers and students have access.
  •  
    for any teacher who wants to use it?
  •  
    Middle schools and high schools definitely have access to this program. Check with Karen Justl to find out whether or not all schools have access.
