Math Lessons Collaboration Daily 01/29/2009

  • Simple example of a blog post that has lots of power. This is the kind of blog post that I think we can do at CTL as an on-going piece of our work. It captures the ideas that we generate all the time, applies them to the work we are doing, provides a systemic way of producing new material that we can later turn into finished pieces of work. If we begin now, capturing these kinds of thoughts in a library, we can launch a CTL blog with a catalog of ideas that we can turn into posts. If the authors need some help clarifying/fine tuning that is where the system comes into play. By the way this is a fantastic post about the potential of something that is already in many students hands, but repackaged for use in an educational way. I imagine this as part of any distance network that we create, especially with Africa.

Math Lessons Collaboration Daily 01/25/2009

  • Need help developing writing prompts or just like interesting quotes. It won't write the prompts for you but it does help get you thinking.

  • Math videos to help explain skills/concepts. Tends to be very skill based, but offers multiple takes on the same skill so if a students doesn't get it from one person the next might be a better fit, short videos makes it plausible that a student might use, GREAT integration of vocabulary. Well worth incorporating into classroom practice to help students understand how to use formulas or manipulate equations. Also they are GREAT models if you want kids to create their own.

  • Blackboard is finally taking their scholar function public. Bookmarking for research/instructional purposes i.e. Diigo and Delicious. Good funtionality- notes, highlighting, sharing, groups, tag clouds for classroom sharing. Blackboard kills me, they have huge market share and are just now realizing this would be a good tool, ug. Have to recognize it because so many colleges, high schools have access to it.

  • Different tutorials to help people learn how to use Diigo and utilize Diigo in the classroom/research/work. Made me realize I need to create more groups and share more specific examples of links with math teachers, etc.

  • Allows quick manipulation of a 3-D brain model with explanation of the different parts. You can look up parts of the brain or functions of the brain. If nothing else, it's interesting for an overview of brain function

  • Easy to use graphing applet, needs java, but very easy to add multiple graphs, edit window, add complex functions if need be. Not the same layout for multiple graphs as fooplot, but nice application anyway.

  • Not necessarily literacy, but if you are looking for some theoretical framework to justify instructional practice or rationale to support routine development in your classroom, here are many of the learning theories discussed in 'short' articles.

  • I'm always looking for an easy to read, easy to implement list of web2.0 applications and Wes Fryer has created another one. I encourage you to find one application/resource and explore it. Don't look at all the possibilities but don't ignore them because it is overwhelming. find one, explore and look for ways to incorporate into your instruction. If you need help, simply ask!

  • OK, I'm not an artist but I SEE this as a tool for writing to learn and writing to publish. I think it would allow students to express their understandings in different ways and then be able to share to a wide audience. If you have a pentab computer this would be an awesome tool to use with kids, because it's easier to export than microsoft journal drawings.
