Well said on your technology integration plan, "One problem I believe many teachers have is differentiating instruction." Particularly with math, teachers really need to provide differentiated learning activities. By using purposefully selected technology such as the "Geometry Express" you presented in class last night, teachers will benefit from the assistance of instructional delivery and students will benefit from leveled learning activities. I think the technology you demonstrated was a great choice. The PD will probably focus on how teachers and learners could use the app to practice and understand the mathematical concept and calculation through visualization. By adding the app "Geometry Express" into the statement will make it comprehensive. Excellent work! Looking forward to reading your revised tech plan. :-)
I thought the application that you presented was really helpful. Struggling learners will really be able to see how those concepts work. It really is an awesome visual aide and doesn't seem too complicated to use! I hope that schools can incorporate it into the curriculum soon. Even if every student cant buy the program, the teacher having it should be helpful.
I am so glad you found this tool and showed us. Unfortunately my district does not have iPads in it just yet to be able to showcase this tool to students. However I have mentioned it to several of the teachers in the Math department to see if they have Macs and would be able to utilize it. Great find and nice presentation, thanks for sharing :]
Nice presentation! I think this is a great way to teach my students about area without using that confusing graph paper that lets you draw in 3d. This is a great tool and I hope I can incorporate it into my lessons. Thanks for the presentations! hopefully ill get a job in a district with iPads!
Nice job! As a future math teacher, I find that program to be a great aid for students. I love how the program offers the visuals needed to gain a conceptual understanding of volume. Thank you for sharing!
