Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow. For this assignment I chose to participate in the discussion at EduBlogs Serendipity.

This was a talk with. Milton Chen, the former director of edutopia, the George Lucas foundation enterprise. I have written an applet for demonstrating reflections and rotations of a function about the x and y axes, and origin. I was unable to embed the applet in my blog, but it is embedded on the class wiki, here. The explanation of how to use the applet is with it on the wiki page.

Another window opened to the world of Mathematics. At the beginning of this course I felt overwhelmed because I was learning how to apply several application on the internet. After learning how use those activities and I looking pass the number of task required for each week I learned more in 7 weeks that I did in a long time. A suggestion for future classes is students work as a group to continue developing a unit over the course weeks. Although several topics should be mus.

A man with a boat at point S at sea wants to get to point Q inland. Point S is distance d1 from the closest point P on the shore, point Q is distance d2 from the closest point T on the shore. The points P and T are at a distance of d from each other. A man rows with a speed of v. And walks with a speed of v. Is a form of questi.

I just attended the EduTecher info. session presented by Adam Bellow. The sessions talked about www. Which is a website that contains a vast amount of web tools and resources for both teachers and students. In his presentation, Adam navigated to several links found on edutecher and showed participants how easy these are to use.

A blog for the ED526b class at arcadia university. He first mentioned two facts he learned during his years of teaching. Then he went on to make some analogies regarding math and real life.

Maria is a great teacher. I am in awe of her knowledge and passion for technology and mathematics! Overall, I really enjoyed this class and working with Maria and the other people in our class. I wish everyone well and hope everyone has a great school year. I hope we all stay in touch! Dan Meyer- A new vision for Math Curriculum Reform. Dan hosted a webinar tonight on his new vision for math curriculum reform.

Wikispaces Classroom is now free, social, and easier than ever. This video was used as an icebreaker at one of the keynote sessions at the Reform Symposium 2010. How many social media tools can you identify? Which ones do you use? Help on how to format text.

The best way to describe Learning and Assessment in Secondary mathematics would be to call it an intimidating, exciting, adventure through an interesting, challenging math course. I panicked and had no idea what to do. Maria helped me through it, but it was definitely a stressful time. However, I overcame it and learned something from it. I could fix it myself the second time. You CAN do it! August 29, 2010.
