Hey hey you you offa my cloud… Boy, was I happy for 15 hours or so (though most of those were spent sleeping). You see, adobe’s “creative cloud” license would let me download to two computers. So, AE is now on my netbook for the next 30 days. However, it’s not downloadable on a 32 […]

1. I don’t know how tos et it so it doesn’t loop forever (tho’ that may be a user-end setting) 2. Um, no, I haven’t figured out how to animate yet 😉 This is frame by frame stuff. 3. Symbols are my native language so revisions will shift away from that and emphasize the “square” […]

Let’s see if I can upload the first 90 minutes’ or so of effort on an “exponent” lesson. There’s basically no animation here — just a few images and the audio and captions. I”ve also added a “click to follow” button. When *I* click it, it automatically signs me up but I don’t know if […]

… Tues & Thurs I have orientation slots sprinkled through the day so it’s even harder to dive in; some students have come by … who have exactly those islands of understanding that need to be connected with something besides procedure. “I get it, but I don’t get it.” (It makes sense whenyou explain it, […]

Got the flash file to do animation of “four to the second power” set up. Tomorrow: hope to first “caption” what I plan to do with it and send it out for any further ideas. (maybe draw things and stick ’em in there?) Time to go for a bike ride 🙂

Here’s a different version of “reverse chaining” that I rather like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXdHGBfoqfw thinking about the way that David Berg and this lady both used a hard table to demonstrate this. Would they use this for the 0’s and 10’s? (I *think* so, as a confidence builder and to lay the groundwork). I notice that […]

I scooted out into the main lane on my bike, because the bus coming up behind me was going to turn right there and I was going straight — and the fellow waiting at the bus stop mutters “You’re supposed to be in the bike path.” Once I processed that yes, he had said that, […]

http://teacherleaders.typepad.com/the_tempered_radical/2012/05/selfassessment-assessment.html This reminds me of the interesting phenomenon that happens when you get kids to make class rules: they tend to be strict. This teacher had the students assess their own work. He notes that many students say they’ve never done it — which surprises him, because that’s what practiced, effective learners do… oops, they’re […]

I did something I’ve never done before… I answered a few questions on our final and then made up questions that I wanted to answer. Looking up the techniques and the names of the movies they were in was boring, and I had there in front of me a compilation of everything we’d learned. […]

http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2012/05/09/texas-community-colleges-reinvent-developmental-math Similar to what I read from Virginia, Texas folks are questioning the value of putting everybody who ranks “developmental” in math in the same algebra-based track. Hey, if people were actually learning that “rational algebraic thinking” in the curriculum, I might have a problem with that. It would hint that when we’re designing curricular […]
