“Use your abilities at this time to stay focused on your goal. You will succeed.” Now, if only I *had* abilities to stay focused 🙂 Sitting at Peking Garden last night (before getting the fortune cookie 😉 I figured out that in lieu of figuring out how to put and take things from a layout, […]

Just watched this movie about “Research-based principles for multimedia learning.” I got lots of great info from it, but several times I wished the comments section were open because, oh my, YOUR IVORY TOWER IS SHOWING. (Of course, in your ivory tower, you don’t care about things like comments!) He blithely states that […]

Oh, my, that even embedded!!! These are movies from Landmark School… CHris Woodin has awesome materials and methods. It’s also **really** helpful to me to watch real teaching videos because I tend to accelerate, and these remind me what to be watching for to set my teaching pace. If students don’t have time to […]

The idea is evolving. Actually, one version is fairly do-able: tie arithmetic questions about a game score to a game. So, when you’re doing whatever “sport” with your Wii… you practice some arithmetic skill with some kind of data from your activity. Still, I like the hooking up the course content to exercise machines […]

Contemplating what this is. Is it watering things down? Well, yes, in a way. It’s more like the “watering up” idea… or more like breaking things down — but building them up. It’s starting with basic concepts and taking the time to build the concepts, include the language that we use to think […]

Riding in this morning I was reflecting on the really frustrated student yesterday. The problems were “order of operations” problems so they had 5 or 6 steps and if he did them piece. by. piece. he’d lose a detail and if he did ’em in his head he’d drop a sign or […]

Yesterday I found to my delight that the designers of the course I’d signed up for posted videos of their planning meetings online. It seems, however, from watching them, that the course I signed up for to “design and develop” open educational resources (OER) for adult education will be pretty heavy on the “find available OER […]

ALEKS has the students doing “order of operations” and powers of ten in the pre-algebra course this week. My early bird to the lab had 17 more “pieces of pie” for this week when I walked by — pretty excellent since they have all week to do them. Finishing them opens up access to […]

This is one of those days when I really wish I had a friend who was an expert at this. I can’t call the last hour wasted — and maybe it was two hours, and that’s relatively cheap — but it could have been significantly shorter. Yes, I already knew that my layouts couldn’t […]

I understand the punctuated equilibrium and the divergent evolution happening with mobile app development. THere is incredible potential for amazing things to happen even with simple apps. The “the phone video is rolling and being sent live to…” for when one is capturing certain kinds of things in action? Yuppers! Still, I weary of reading […]
