IT in university level mathematics teaching and learning: a mathematician's ...

 
 

Sent to you by David Andrew via Google Reader:

 
 

via Newsletter - Issue 20 on 09/08/10

University mathematicians are often selective in their approaches to the use of IT in teaching. Although mathematicians systematically use specialist software in direct teaching of mathematics, as means of delivery e-learning technologies have so far been less widely used. This article is an attempt to explain the rationale for this selectivity, and proposes a 'wish list' of future developments for e-learning technologies.

Formats for Visual Thinking in the Classroom

 
 

Sent to you by David Andrew via Google Reader:

 
 

via Free Technology for Teachers by noreply@blogger.com (Mr. Byrne) on 06/08/10

18 Formats for Handmade Thinking in the Classroom is a presentation put together by Laurence Musgrove. In the presentation Musgrove takes the ideas from Dan Roam's Back of the Napkin books and applies them to the classroom. In his presentation Musgrove outlines eighteen ways that visual thinking and handmade sketches can be used in your teaching practice. Musgrove includes some examples of handmade sketches created by students. There are 100 slides in the slidedeck, but the deck didn't get interesting to me until slide seventeen when Musgrove jumps into the 18 formats for handmade thinking.
View the slides below.


Visit Laurence Musgrove's website, The Illustrated Professor for more examples of using handmade drawings as a reading response format.

If you're interested in having your students create free-hand sketches on their computers for later use in presentations, you may want to explore these five free online drawing tools.
