Teaching collaborative/Technology integration
Student-centered learning community
4. TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION 2008/2010:
Two wireless/Mobile Tablet PC labs
DyKnow Vision software
AST Math/Science:
1) Engagement and retention of students
2) Enhancing learning and concept application
3) Demonstration of teaching strategy to other educators
Foundations of Technical Mathematics:
1) Effectiveness in a larger class size
2) Reproducibility
5. PEN-BASED COMPUTING (TABLET PC):
Stylus input – like pencil on paper (no typing)
Annotations focus learners on key concepts
Visual learners can diagram ideas
Notes saved and accessed anytime/anywhere
11. CREATING RESOURCES FOR HYBRID TEACHING:
In hybrid mode:
Less face-to-face class time
Necessary to cover content outside of class time
The solution is to screencast!!

12. INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPED SCREENCASTS:
CONS
Time required to
produce
Teaching style the
same (videos are
copies of lessons)
Passive (not active)
learning
PROS
Students choose
when/where/how
often learning occurs
Capitalize on „out of
class time‟ learning
Provides review for
exams/tests/quizzes
STUDENT DEVELOPED MATHCASTS!!
13. CONNECTING COLLEGE TO CAREER (C^3):
Goal:
To develop a categorized library of mathematics
and application videos (AODA compliant)
produced by and for students
