IT in university level mathematics teaching and learning: a mathematician's point of view

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

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.

Fwd: How is the web changing science? Join us at Science Online London 2010 to find out!

Nature, Mendeley, and the British Library are excited to present Science Online London 2010! How is the web changing the way we conduct, communicate, share, and evaluate research? How can we employ these trends for the greater good? This September, a brilliant group of scientists, bloggers, web entrepreneurs, and publishers will be meeting for two days to address these very questions. In addition to a number of keynotes and talks, Science Online is about community, and is an experience that you can shape. Exchange ideas with others like you. Propose and take part in un-conference sessions, ignite talks, the famous FringeFrivolous Roofterrace Night with free drinks and discussions (limited to 50 attendees, so register now!), or a trip to the Diamond Light Source Synchrotron. The conference venue in the heart of London boasts excellent catering, free wifi, and a number of cafés and exhibitions.

Radiopaedia: Quizzes in Radiology

via ScienceRoll by Dr. Bertalan Meskó on 26/07/10

A few days ago, I described how I use Quiz.MD for keeping myself up-to-date and just came across a new feature on Radiopaedia, a radiology wiki site I frequently write about. They now offer quizzes which are actually detailed, illustrated case presentations. Really useful and can also help you boost your radiology knowledge.

One example:
