Math Lessons Collaboration Daily 08/06/2010

  • Edutopia is just confirming what we all know and believe. Why is it such a hard thing to implement well in the classroom? 
    We need to continue fighting for the chance for every student to have opportunities and expectations for communicating in class everyday as a regular/routine part of their learning.

  • The website says: "THE Place For Educational Games!Our research-based and standards-aligned free educational math games and language arts games will engage, motivate, and help teach students. Click a button below to play our free multi-player and single-player games! In the future we'll add features enabling you to save records, tailor content for differentiated instruction, and pinpoint student problem areas."
    I think using the games in conjunction with a holistic approach to developing skills would make for a great way of getting students to practices some skills. Let students play, set goals, monitor those goals, reflect on their progress, and apply strategies/heuristics to specific problems they struggle with would create an environment in the classroom where learning was fun, self-monitored, and successful.

  • Interesting article that highlights teachers using vodcasting as a tool for extending instruction and working with students in a variety of media. I believe the model could work very well with the BMS iPod Touch project if teachers were interested in creating short videos of lecture that students could acces outside of class. 

    Mathematics is an easy course to consider. The teacher can model solving a problem, or applying an estimation technique that students could watch, create their own example applying the strategy, and turn in the product to the teacher. 

    the model produces a nice intersection of consumption of content, with using the tool for creation of content as well.
