9-30-13 meeting notes

Mary Z will put videos in streaming or in blackboard shell so that we can access them. We are going to wait for the new edition.

Goal- complete syllabus by March 3rd 2014  — before we can plan this hybrid 6 credit course we need to see if we can co-plan and co-teach the elementary math part 1 course.  This will determine the content of math part 2 & math methods

decisions to make:  how much of course to be online; what online tools to use;

mary wants us to develop the syllabus on line as a blog – the syllabus is then like a website – everything could come off of this blog

we want a way for students to be able to share their problem solving strategies – mary is going to figure out the best tool to do this – we want students to be solving a problem together in real-time collaboration (example, pigs & chickens)

so far the tools that we are going to use:

1. small discussion groups (focused around videos) where groups of 5 and one student is leader each week

2. wikis – project based learning and then real life teaching in our classroom

3. an interactive problem solving site

9-16-13 Meeting Notes

In attendance: Mary Mueller, Kerry Mc Neill, Mary Zedeck and Danielle Mirliss

A possible text for the course: Math Solutions

Copyright release will need to be requested from resources other than OER, even if only a portion of a text or video is used in the course.

How will the course meet? Once or twice a week? For how long? Only Fridays in the field (72 hours/semester) or Thurs and Fri.

Ideas for course materials:

  • integrate video (Rutgers)
  • discussion
  • group problem solving online

Action Items:

  • Mary M. will send Kerry the current f2f Math Methods syllabus
  • Mary M. will begin to think about which dates in the spring 2014 f2f methods course would be good for Kerry to sit in on
  • Kerry will begin to think about which date in the spring f2g math perspectives course would be good for Kerry to sit in on
  • Mary Z. will begin to research online tools to accomplish course objectives
