Lumen Learning @LumenLearning 39m Where can we do better with OER? Student Panel says: More & better use of interactivity. Making sure materials are cohesive, especially if they come from different sources. Quality of more complex visuals, charts and graphs. #NEOERSummit18  I retweeted at the Rebus Community… yes, this is exactly exactly what I want to […]

Monday and very quiet… so! Went to the YouTube captions for two of the three videos included in my exponents “curriculum guide.”     The YouTube captions are highly accurate, tho’ not 100%.   Lots of “Fours” were replaced with “for.”   I started contemplating … would it be better to use Arabic digits?   I think so.   I […]

I’m looking at instructional routines and saw “quick images,” which is generally used for subitizing, but i’m thinking could be used for retrieval for skills like knowing 2^3 is 8. Briefly cruised geogebra for figuring out how to do it, then remembered…. revisions are due Friday.   Much better to do a: the “paper version” of […]

Friday, nobody here!   Exams over!   Fighting desire to curl up like a hedgehog 🙂 Somebody tweeted that a math book had students add mixed numbers by changing them to improper, adding, then changing back.  Some disdain. I said this was not as convoluted to the students as it seemed to them b/c converting to improper […]

The Thursday morning “coffee, muffins and listen” at the Faculty Summer Institute is about Open Educational Resources.   This guy is from Libretexts and is going over the basics 🙂    This guy is still mainly about text as the mode for learning but it’s interesting to hear the perspective from the upper end of higher […]

…. about ten folks in my session and I think it went well (we’ll see from evals tho’ I forgot to say I have a very strong ego so to please be honest but at least one had actual words on it). The questions were all about the math instruction, not about the tech.   How […]

Got draft of curriculum in!   Successfully created two little “connecting representation” exercises and some other visual stuff, living here in dropbox .   Need to keep going and make them for the bigger stuff, on the grounds that this is an awesome way to promote retrieval as opposed to guessing. connectingRepExerciseCubes  OK that should link to Word file… […]
