the first five expressions of the worksheet.
Students will have access to worksheets on Facebook.
Students are encouraged to interact with one another on Facebook, Twitter, and in class
if they are struggling with the homework.
There is a video of the Curriculum-bot, the equation video, and the link to the Voki on
Facebook if the students need help at home.
Curriculum-bot can still be accessed in the classroom to remind students of the basic
steps to solve an equation.
Evaluate and Revise
Did working in pairs help the students grasp the concept better than working in large
groups?
Do the same students continue to interact with each other?
Did the students interact with one another for help or copy off of each other?
Are the students interacting with one another online for the purpose of learning the
material?
Are the videos and information on Facebook relevant and helpful to the current
curriculum?
Are the basic steps obvious enough in each aid tool to help the students build more
skills on?
