1. Resources
|
This is what I looked at, this is what I learned about, “this is what I found out”
|
I began a note in keep to hold all my resources. These are the ones I explored this week:
Cool construction game that becomes more challenging as you go:

2. Create
|
This is what I created - insert link here - even if not finished!
|
I have had a ton of fun with Desmos these past weeks. Here is what I made, and here is what my student has been making while collaborating with me. I now have a poster of Minnesota up in my room made using Desmos. Come check it out!

3. Action
|
This is how it went or here’s how it fits into the big picture i.e., the unit plan
|
Had a ton of fun with students creating things in Desmos that I never would have dreamed possible without this new technology. Looking forward to more!

Here are my ramblings as I went about our content search this week. It was fun!
Added a blue note to Keep for resources:
10 Student Expectations for Schools:
Relationships; Relevance; Time; Timing; Play; Practice; Choice;
Authenticity; Challenge; Application
Isn’t this just what good teaching is? I feel like I’m coming across this question
more and more with the PD I’ve attended.
Isn’t that just how teachers should operate? Is this news to people?
SAMR article: Getting Smart: Content Curation through the SAMR
Lens
“Teaching Above the Line”: Modification and Redefinition
levels of SAMR
That interactive image is SO COOL. I can totally see using something like that
on Schoology to navigate my page. Can we
embed stuff like that??
I love the idea of keeping track of everything as it
comes. Sometimes tech can be so
overwhelming because I feel like there is so much stuff out there and I don’t
have time to integrate it. Keeping an
organized list of cool things as I come across them is prudent; I can review it
all when I have the time.
I’ve always wanted to have intentionally designed study groups
in calculus. I think it would be great
for students to use collaborative online tools to share ideas within a
group. Would this be augmentation? And what would a good math-ready platform be
for that? Sometimes I feel like the math
type in google docs is a little clunky.
I really need to spend more time on Twitter, but so often I
feel like it’s a waste of time…so many collaborative opportunities though!
Content Exploration Thoughts:
Khan Academy is something I’ve used in the past but haven’t
been integrating at EHS as much as I could.
Students so often ask for videos if they’re gone and I direct them there
but without much more instruction. I
could totally do the search myself and post links to the videos on
Schoology. Simple solution.
Online textbooks are great, but I’m worried students are
losing textbooks as tools to be referenced when the going gets tough. They just go to the page with the homework
and that’s it. We’re under curriculum
review right now for math and I’m hoping we end up with a program that has
better tech integration. Sounds like a
good spot to hack the content!
I like the idea of Newsela and its related sites but have
trouble thinking of how to use it in a math class.
For content creation, I can definitely see doing more with
students showing their work via video. I
can’t make solution videos to all my worksheets and homework assignments, but
if I have students do it I could conceivably have a video solution for every
assigned problem. That would be crazy. Many hands make light work! MoveNote could work for that…do we have
access to MoveNote??
I’m currently on a 3 year subscription to Screen Cast-o-matic,
but do we have access to something like Screencastify?
It would be cool to try EDPuzzle for one of my screencasts to
add in questions to my lecture while I’m away.
