dkuropatwa commented on Presenting Sticky Ideas Todd, your observations about the slides not telling the whole story are bang, but I believe that’s the mark of a good presenter— the slides weren’t the presentation, Scott was. I suspect the slides were never meant to stand alone. Scott alluded to this in the last paragraph of his comment above. That said, Scot, any chance you recorded the audio for this talk? Is it available anywhere online? If the answer to both those questions is no would you consider recording it next time? I’d really love to hear the talk that goes with this slide deck. ;-) 2 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on Fine Tuning Our Teaching of Reading Beautiful slides! I would love to hear the audio that went with them. Any chance you might be publishing a slidecast soon? ;-) 2 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on Essential Learning Projectv5c Your message was delivered effectively and powerfully. Great Presentation! 2 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on In the age of real-time: The complex, social, and serendipitous learning offered via the Web Beautiful slides hinting at a equally impressive talk. Any chance you’d create a slidecast of this? I’d love to hear the audio that went with these slides. 4 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on Extreme (web 2.0) Lesson Plan Makeover v2 "You’ve got me thinking!" What a wonderful compliment. Thank you for that. Please consider leaving me some feedback on the presentation wiki here: http://dkuropatwablc09.pbworks.com/ExtremeLessonPlanMakeover 4 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on Presentingfor Impact Lots of good advice here. Also, about slide 16, this is one technique marketers sometimes use to distort data. While visuals are important and effective in getting a point across that is a particularly misleading way to present graphical information. Here’s why: What’s imp about the frogs is their vertical heights; the large one is 4 times the height of the small one. However, their areas differ by a factor of 4^2 or 16 times. This misrepresents the data/message being conveyed. The fix? Either stick to a bar graph where the bars are equal in width or distort the image by maintaining a common width. Also, as is done on the page you linked to, stack the little frogs one on top of the other until they reach the desired height. 6 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on Shifting To 21st Century Learning The entire presentation is visually stunning, and the content is powerful, but Slide 32 is breathtakingly brilliant! Beautiful work Sylvia! 6 months ago

dkuropatwa commented on AP Calculus AB April 14, 2009 Glad you found it useful. ;-) I teach in Winnipeg, Canada. 7 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on AP Calculus AB April 13, 2009 Because F(x) is a composite function like ƒ(g(x)) where the outer function, ƒ, is the accumulation function defined by the integral, and the inner function, g, is 2x. This means that when you differentiate the "t" is replaced with "2x", and (2x)^3 = 8x^3. 7 months ago

dkuropatwa commented on Pre-Cal 40S April 8, 2009 Right you are! Thanks. I fixed it. 8 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on Consumer 30S Feb.11, 2009 Great start! Looking forward to seeing more slides here. Signed: Your favourite nudge. 10 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on AP Calculus January 23, 2009 Thanks Matt! I’ve tried using images as backgrounds only sparingly, like this. In my original slides the images were very faint because I set the transparency very high. When they published here on SlideShare that transparency was lost. C’est la vie. ;-) 10 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on Excellent Birds You can download the slides and get the music from here: http://ccmixter.org/files/murat_ses/13895 and embed the music file in the slides if you like. 10 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on Inquiry-Based Learning Opportunities for Secondary Teachers and Students My favourite line is on slide 10: "Erode teachers’ conception of mathematics as a monolithic sequence of rules/algorithms." If only we could do the same with the general public. This degree sounds like a good start. 11 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on Excellent Birds Yeah, that’s why I wanted to be the first to reply. Not replying wasn’t a consideration. ;-) 11 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on Awakening Possibilities Well, yes, we do need to know something about the tools. I quite agree. However, it’s too easy to get lost in a forest of tools and lose site of the importance of nurturing the ecology in which the trees exist: the pedagogy. 12 months ago
dkuropatwa commented on Nyscate Intro Man, I love the images you use. Please record this. I’d love to hear the audio that goes with it. 2 years ago
dkuropatwa commented on Alg 6.2 Notes I like the way you describe substitution: "copy & paste". I’m going to use that. ;-) 2 years ago
