Post-Due Post

I love that Ted Talk.  I've seen it many times.  I'm such a proponent of curiosity in the classroom and I do whatever I can to cultivate it.  I understand that the world is truly the math classroom, and what I teach my students from a book will only be a tiny fraction of what the world of math can unfold.  That's why I offer my students an extra credit opportunity that is year-long.  Find anything that excites you related to math and see what happens.  Amazing things happen.  From lego creations of difficult volumes and shapes to amazing graphical creations in Desmos, the kids really take off when I give them some freedom and the prospect of a few bonus quiz points.

My journey with workflow this week involved a lot of stuff I've seen before.  I use google forms often, here are a couple I've created.  The first is a survey I give to all my students after the first quarter.  The second is the form we use for students to select meet events for our EHS Math Team.

Screencasts I'm also familiar with.  My issue is that I want to teach via video the same way I do in class and they get really long.  I would love to learn some strategies to get them trimmed down!

Reflection Parts	Description	My Notes
1. Resources	This is what I looked at, this is what I learned about, “this is what I found out”	Having a viable method for handing out and collecting student work is essential. I played around with some resources that I use consistently and looked at some others that are less familiar.
2. Create	This is what I created - insert link here - even if not finished!	Check out my screencasts I made this week for my sub plans! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1NQBhneZyk&t=896s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSoawBFfUVQ&t=8s
3. Action	This is how it went or here’s how it fits into the big picture i.e., the unit plan	I did this because times are changing! Days of killing hundreds of trees to get students worksheets are gone. It's so nice to use schoology and google docs to see student work!
