My next technology journey!

I have been having several interesting conversations with Roger Wagner, the creator of HyperStudio, lately about teaching with technology.   He passed on some great teaching ideas!      It would be really fun to use my Lumens DC265 document camera and HyperStudio 5 to create a stop-action movie!   I could also record a “normal” movie and insert it into a HyperStudio stack to be part of a larger project for my students….the wheels are turning!   I sure wish there were more than 24 hours in a day!

Roger Wagner also has an area on Facebook for folks interested in sharing their ideas about how to use HyperStudio in education called HyperFest Central

If you use HyperStudio PLEASE send me some of your projects, I would LOVE to see them!  I am just re-learning HyperStudio after taking a long vacation.   When I create my first project I will be sure to share it here!

 

Intermediate Algebra online modules

online module

This year I have started teaching my Intermediate Algebra courses as hybrid, with 4 days face-to-face and 1 day “online”.

For the online day, I create a module for the students to view before attempting the homework and taking a quiz that day.  I try to make the online modules very similar to what I would have taught that day in class.   I have tried a variety of technologies to get my lessons across visually, with sound, and also animation.   I create my own Flash animations, use my Livescribe pen to work out problems which I record and place on the module webpage, and I use Jing to crop screen shots from the textbook or homework assignments.   In the following module I opened up with an avatar using Voki.
