As I was reading through Chapter 4, I came across a the section of creating an online text for the curriculum. I thought about how this could be useful for me.
When I begin a new unit, one of my favorite things to have students do is share at least one thing they already know about the topic. For example, when we start magnetism, students make a list of what they know and each student must contribute one item for the whole class -- and it cannot be repeated.
I thought about taking this in-class activity and making it an online activity on the night before a new unit begins.
That's a really good idea! One of my greatest frustrations in teaching math concepts is being able for students to convey what they already know to give me a better baseline to start. I may "borrow" your idea. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI like this idea. I am starting to look at ways to bring in technology into my lessons. I also like the idea of having students work at home on upcoming lessons. Almost like a "flipped classroom" approach.
