The document describes a proposed setup for a future high school/college calculus classroom that utilizes various emerging technologies. It involves each student having individual access to a computer workstation equipped with interactive software and connected to an instructor's smart board. Students would use clicker response technology and slates for collaborative work and assessments. Key learning tools would include the Khan Academy online platform for self-paced video tutorials and practice problems in calculus and other subjects.

2. High School/College Calculus
• Student Age range from 15-20 years old
• Pre-requisite skills:
– Basic windows software computer familiarity
– Established individual profile on Tutoring web site
Khan Academy
– Successful completion of Trigonometry (Pre-
Calculus)
– Individually owned scientific (graphing) calculator

3. Typical Classroom Set Up
of the Future
• Computer workstations throughout room
(at least 1 for every 3 students).
• Instructor tools:
– SMART board
– Smart Response Clicker Technology
– Slates
– Established profile in the Khan Academy

4. SMART Board
• SMART Board is a
interactive white board
that uses touch screen
ability on a large white
board.
• SMART Board is
connected to the
teacher’s computer.
• SMART Notebook Math
Tools software to
create, explore,
evaluate, and solve
math problems.

6. S ma rt R e s pons e
C l i c k e r Te c h n o l o g y
• Use the handheld devices for grading and
attendance,
– formative assessments and
comprehension.
• Teachers can poll the class
– Divide students into small discussion
groups, and then poll them again to see
what they learned from one another
• Clicker responses can be anonymous
– Clickers encourage participation, even
from shy students or with sensitive
topics
• Devices are popular with students, who love
the game-like experience.
– They love challenging themselves and
competing with their classmates.
They're doing work but it's fun.

7. S ma rt R e s pons e
C l i c k e r Te c h n o l o g y
• LCD screens are now common
• Texting capability
– Facilitates open-ended questions and self-
paced learning.
• Some devices enable students to input their
clicker responses via computer.
• Others let teachers transmit questions or
comments to students collectively or
individually via clicker.
• Teachers can help those who are struggling
or adapt instruction if many are having
difficulty.
• Also let teachers tag certain questions by
skill and assessment standard for review
after class.

8. Slates
• eInstruction recently introduced the Mobi
View slate, which gives teachers a larger
touch screen, centralized control over
student devices, and full access to lesson
plans, applications, and eInstruction's
ExamView assessment content library.
• The SMART Slate™ wireless slate gives
you and your students the freedom to
interact with digital content from
anywhere in the room. As you use the
pen to write on the surface of the
wireless slate, your handwriting displays
on both your computer screen and the
SMART Board interactive whiteboard or
a projection screen for all to see.
• "It's like embedding a smartphone inside
a whiteboard,"
• Students work together and learn from
each other for a higher level of
collaborative learning.

• Topics covered in the first two or three
semesters of college calculus. Everything
from limits to derivatives to integrals to
vector calculus. Should understand the
topics in the pre-calculus playlist first (the
limit videos are in both playlists)
