Peer Instruction-like resources for math (Module 2, ISTE-TS 2 experiences and assessments)

Orlala Wentink April 23, 2017 April 23, 20172 - experiences and assessments, classroom voting systems, clicker questions, ConceptTests, CVS, EDTC 6103, formative assessment, GoodQuestions, ISTE Teaching Standards, Math education, Math QUEST, Peer Instruction

One of my most memorable college experiences as a student involved the use of clicker questions, but used in a little bit of a non-traditional way. The class was “baby quantum” as we called it. It was a prerequisite for the intro quantum mechanics sequence. Typically, in my experience as a student, a multiple-choice question … Continue reading “Peer Instruction-like resources for math (Module 2, ISTE-TS 2 experiences and assessments)”

Imagining math (EDTC 6103 Module 1, ISTE-TS 1 learning and creativity)

Orlala Wentink April 11, 2017 April 11, 20171 - learning and creativity, Conference Proceedings, EDTC 6103, ICME, Imagination, ISTE Teaching Standards, Mathematical creativity, PowToons

This quarter, we’re exploring the 2008 ISTE Teacher Standards (which I will be abbreviating ISTE-TS), and for module 1 we’re looking at ISTE-TS 1: Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity – “teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity and innovation in both face-to-face … Continue reading “Imagining math (EDTC 6103 Module 1, ISTE-TS 1 learning and creativity)”

Backwards design: Antiderivatives (Individual project)

Orlala Wentink March 19, 2017 March 19, 20172 - Digital citizen, Antiderivatives, Backwards Design, Calculus II, Class culture, EDTC 6102, ISTE Student Standards, Lesson plan, Math education, Six facets of understanding, Understanding by Design

For our individual projects this quarter, we each re/designed a lesson plan using Backwards Design (BD) (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005). I have yet to teach a college math class, so unsurprisingly, I have never designed a lesson plan for a college math class before. Though I do frequently daydream about it… And for some reason I … Continue reading “Backwards design: Antiderivatives (Individual project)”

Doing math online (Module 5, Creative communicator, Global collaborator)

“One,” they say in approximate unison. “One.” “One. Two. Three. …Eight! Nine!” “One. Two. BUNCO!!!” they scream, with a curious comradery considering they’re playing against each other. “Nooo!” the other tables tease. “What was your score? Sweet, I’m the loser!” Once a month, my extended family gets together to play a game called Bunco. See … Continue reading “Bunco and MATLAB (Module 4, Computational thinker)”

Forums, curation, and mathematics (Module 2, Knowledge constructor)

Orlala Wentink January 29, 2017 January 29, 20173: Knowledge constructor, College, Curation, EDTC 6102, Facebook, ISTE Student Standards, Math education

Module 2 is about investigating ISTE Student Standard 3: Knowledge Constructor – “students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others.” Looking at the indicators generated a lot of questions for me about how I can foster these things in a college math class. … Continue reading “Forums, curation, and mathematics (Module 2, Knowledge constructor)”
