Taxonomies of Learning Technologies. Grouping learning technologies into categories is a useful way to make sense out of the many tools available.

Taxonomies of Learning Technologies

This page suggests several taxonomies for categorizing learning technologies. In just about any taxonomy for instructional technology, tools may likely show up under multiple categories depending on how they are used. For example, a tool such as an iPhone can be used to view static learning content or can be used to collaborate with other learners. In the first case it might be categorized with a media player (like QuickTime or Windows Media Player) while in the second case it might be categorized with tools like Google Docs or Wikipedia. Classification by Interaction. UML Tutorial - UML Unified Modelling Language - Sparx Systems. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has quickly become the de-facto standard for building Object-Oriented software.

Using Performance Assessment to Improve Math Learning. Nearly 30 California districts are using a set of common performance tasks to guide professional development and improve teaching and learning in mathematics.

Using Performance Assessment to Improve Math Learning

The tasks focus on student understanding and the ability to transfer knowledge to new tasks. The districts undertook this effort in part to counter the harmful effects of the state’s standardized tests, which are not good measures of mathematical reasoning. The success of the collaborative shows the value and feasibility of performance assessments. The Silicon Valley Mathematics Assessment Collaborative (MAC) first mapped out the five core ideas on which it would focus across the grade levels. They then selected the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS) to develop the tasks for each grade level. Teachers use the scored tests in their classes to help students develop deeper understanding. Math Portal: Performance Tasks. Welcome to PALM.

Balanced Assessment in Mathematics. School districts and states across the US are engaged in a process of standards-based reform built around the Common Core State Standards.

Balanced Assessment in Mathematics

They recognize that progress in most classrooms depends on their assessment program matching the new and broader curriculum goals, focused on students’ developing the expertise described in the mathematical practices. This means moving to include performance assessment. The Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS) works with districts and states on the design and implementation of performance assessment, and on professional development for designers and teachers. The aim is to help the local leadership develop local capacity to meet local needs. Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS) - Division of Science and Mathematics Education. Teacher's Toolbox.

Since then, developers have introduced a greater range of apps across all areas of the Maths curriculum that can be used to enhance the Maths teaching and learning in your classroom. Everything elearning. Instructional Design in Elearning George Siemens September 30, 2002 Introduction Elearning is the marriage of technology and education, and most often, the instructional designer's greatest role is that of "bridging" concepts between the two worlds. This vital role ensures that a subject matter expert's (SME) concepts are properly developed by graphic designers and programmers. Unfortunately, the role of instructional design (ID) in elearning is often misunderstood - due to the perceived complexity of the process and to poor understanding of the pedagogical requirements of elearning. The need for instructional design is being noticed in elearning - both in corporate training departments and education institutions. This article explores ID in terms of: definitions, models, and usage.

Mathematics with an iPad. Creating Equation iBooks with Book Creator. As you probably read from the last post, I haven’t been around for a bit. However, the past week (before Christmas break) and these first two days have been pretty exciting to watch my sixth grade students assemble their first iBook on solving One-Step Equations.

Teaching one-step equations to sixth grade has always been an interesting task, as these problems can usually be solved with mental math.
