Penultimate week of classes so very busy in the a.m.   Quiet later, but felt I needed to touch base w/ online stuff so no work on STUFF except to think I might want to touch Geogebra first to make a star to use as an image to bring to GIMP with snipper. I’m told GIMP […]

I have ordered a new c omputer — should arrive next week.   I hope hope hope hope hope it doesn’t stall out all the time like this one does because I’m past the part of the process where it’s okay to find something and go to copy and paste the link and pick up five […]

My impulsive tweet mentioning that Champaign-Urbana is a lot cheaper than Chicago for doing things like workshops… has evolved so that (no, really?) we’ll be hosting a free Geogebra workshop.    https://www.eventbrite.com/e/geogebra-workshop-at-parkland-college-tickets-45538951229  (Sigh, not sure I hit all channels in proper order…) Workin’ on a better video for my baby exponent explain…

I’m skimming another article about math and tech — not developmental math. It is:  Sharp, L.A., & Hamil, M. (2018). Impact of a web-based adaptive supplemental digital resource on student mathematics performance. Online Learning, 22(1), 81-92. doi:10.24059/olj.v22i1.1133 I read the literature summary and… digital supplements might not work so well for assorted subpopulations. THe results for […]

It’s from onlinelearningconsortium.org   and they’re having a conference in Nashville, TN — but for some bucks people can attend virtually and … yes, it’s worth it.  I’m doing it like webinars — basically trying to see what I can glean when they’re live and hten going through stuff later because yes, anything livestreamed can be […]

Whereas I’m indoctrinated that anything you talk about should include a literature review, I dipped into “developmental math” yesterday.   Instant gratification: Reference List Weisburst E, Daugherty L, Miller T, Martorell P, Cossairt J. Innovative Pathways Through Developmental Education and Postsecondary Success: An Examination of Developmental Math Interventions Across Texas. Journal Of Higher Education [serial online]. March 2017;88(2):183-209. […]

These are not in lieu of learning number sense and the times tables, but handy as an accommodation while learning higher level skills and concepts. Our Transitions and Pre-Algebra students get a 25 x 25 table in their course materials (our instructors make their own), and teach students how to use them, I have not […]

… yes, missed a meeting b/c … three other things scheduled 😦   YUK 😦 Power in Numbers has started YEA 🙂 🙂 🙂 Met w/ instructor who has a student who … could use my part and whole videos ’cause that’s where he’s at.     And… I realize Geogebra probably can be used where Internet […]

I waffled several times (esp. when reading about an upcoming webinar about some OER efforts in adult ed that I didn’t know about),  and then just wrote down what I have been trying to do for the past little while (didn’t go back to the   beginning and the OER-STEM project, but that’s included in my […]

TLDR  boring stuff on figuring out computer stuff… Resorted to the Geogebra forum again – just to look for something and mirabile dictu, my question had appeared and I got an answer.   I’m 90% sure it’s what I posted as self-found answer in different terms.   There were some comments of varying constructiveness after that but […]
