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
