![]() I did however, find it interesting the set up and procedures of the online math classes offered. I know that a lot of these students are unable to attend classrooms because of their unique situations, but overall I do not think that I would want to take these types of classes everyday. It takes away the social interaction between students, and I feel that this interaction is an important skill that students develop in the classroom. I enjoy being able to talk to the professor in person and meet in the classroom with the rest of the class. I don't think I would want to take an online math class as well. I am not sure if I would enjoy teaching one because I like the face to face interactions I have with the students. I never thought about an online high school math class. I was able to see which one reflects the teacher I want to be, and how it benefits my future students.ī) The online class this past week was extremely interesting to me. Surprisingly the type of lesson I want to teach and type of lesson I was usually taught differed. After reading them I arrived at the conclusion which type I would want to teach and which type of activities I have been taught. I liked how it broke down the two different types of technology lessons. I found this week's reading interesting as well. I am not sure if that was the overall goal of this activity, but I am certainly glad that it helped me realize this. I am glad that did this activity because it will help me as a future teacher. I think after I did this, it helped me realize what I need to include in lessons when I create them. Having never made a rubric for choosing lessons, it took me a while to decide what to make as the criteria. After using it more, I am sure I could find a better way to not block the screenī) Reflect on the online class session regarding teaching for an online high school.Ī) This weeks tasks were a little more time consuming than I first thought they would be. I think that this could take away from the overall presentation because it blocks half the screen. ![]() It was somewhat hard to see what was going on when people were using it. I did not like the way the shadows of the user gets in the way of the board. Things like this could be a resource for students that have a tough time learning by taking notes. Graphs that look at different functions other than linear ones, or maybe a program that helps students with a visual representation of derivatives and how it matches up with the area under graphs. I think there could be many more of these interactive programs that could benefit students in math. I think it could be a little more distracting than just using a normal dry erase board because it's new and something that the students do not get to experience everyday.Īnother thing that I liked about the SMARTboard was the interactive graphs and thermometer that we looked at before class was over. Students would love using this almost as much as I did. The way that we were able to pick up the eraser and pen and be able to use it without much instruction is another great thing about this. It is a really nice piece of technology, and I think it has a lot of potential. ![]() I loved using the SMARTboard during Tuesday's class. TinkerPlots seems to be limited to these types of classes, but I feel that Fathom could branch off into different classes.ĭiscuss your impression of the SMARTboard or Notebook technology and/or Geogebra. There are a lot of possibilities using this function and I think it can be helpful in more than just a statistics or probability class. The way that you could make a recursive formula was easy to understand and compute. I liked the different formulas that you are able to do using this function. I thought it was extremely easy to use, and I found it very useful. I like how the different activities highlighted each activity and focused on each of them individually.Īnother thing that I thought Fathom did well was calculation functions. They did a great job walking users through activities to help familiarize them with everything Fathom has to offer. They did a great job writing tours to help people figure out how to use the different functions. Like TinkerPlots, I thought that Fathom was very user friendly. This was a great way to help students compare attributes in Fathom without having to create several different graphs. This was extremely useful when I completed the activity with the rates and distances between the three vehicles. A great thing that I found for Fathom was that you are able to graph multiple attributes on one side of the axises. By the end of the week, I feel as those Fathom has several attributes that I like better. JOURNAL (BLOG): What is your impression of Fathom - note three specific pointsĪfter using TinkerPlots these past 7 weeks, when I started Fathom I was quite surprised on how similar the two were.
