Slight Correction from Martin Institute Presentation

So I can’t believe I forgot to mention Geogebra in my sessions at the Martin Institute Summer Conference!  I had inadvertently hyperlinked the address incorrectly, so as I was working my way through my list, the site did not show up.

If you have never checked out Geogebra, I encourage you to do so.  First of all, it is OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE!  That is very impressive to me.  Secondly, it can be a great tool for you to use in your classroom. 

Here is how Geogebra describes itself:

“GeoGebra is free and multi-platform dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that joins geometry, algebra, tables, graphing, statistics and calculus in one easy-to-use package.”

I have now corrected the link in the original Martin Institute post.  Go check out Geogebra!

Backchanneling Transcript from Sessions 7 & 8 @ Martin Institute

After attending Session 1 by Gail Braddock at the Martin Institute’s Summer Conference, I became very excited about the use of backchanneling in my own undergrad classes that I will be teaching in the fall.  I asked the audiences in both of my sessions on Thursday afternoon to indulge me in a couple of trial runs; they were very gracious to do so.  I promised them the transcripts of the sessions so that we could all share in the collaboration.  We used http://www.todaysmeet.com/.  Here are the transcripts:

My school has a high ESL population, so I can see the usefulness of Wolfram Alpha.

I can use these with my college-aged daughter taking college algebra.
