  2. Who am I?

  3. Where are you now? Where do your students want to be?

  4. Math 10-C and 10-3 Resources • What is a Learn EveryWare Online Course? • What’s in a Course? • Digging Deeper • Technology in the Classroom • Engaging Students

  5. Learn EveryWare Online Courses • Developed by Alberta Education (seconded teachers with content expertise) • Complete online courses with 100% Program of Study alignment. • Authorized by Alberta Education and available FREE to ALL Alberta Teachers on www.LearnAlberta.ca

  6. What’s in a Learn EveryWare Course? • Instruction and scaffolding • Resources • Assignments • Multimedia • Activities • Projects • Collaborative opportunities • Differentiated content, process and assessment

  7. Using a Learn EveryWare Course? • Use ‘out of the box’ • Supplement with assignments/activities/labs • Use portions of course • Addresses all learning outcomes • Works in learning management systems (Moodle/D2L), on a memory stick or on the web • Most courses require some internet access

  8. Purpose of Instructional Design • Identify the instructional goals and outcomes (stated clearly in every lesson) • Consider the learners and their environment (differentiation of process, product and content) • Guide the development of the instructional content (scope and sequence) • Establish how instructional effectiveness will be evaluated (meaningful assessment for, of and as).

  9. Constructivist Inquiry Design • Focused on real world application of content.   • Deeper understanding through collaborative opportunities • Reflection and collaboration are built into the course at every level.   • Focus on authentic and meaningful assessment. • Acknowledges and builds on prior knowledge.

  10. Inquiry Model • Follow the focus/questions – tied to General and Specific Outcomes • Unit • Module • Lesson • Focus on • student discovery • learning more than teaching

  11. Common Lesson Components • Unit/Module introduction • Big Picture – why learn this? • Lesson connections – engage students, links to prior learning. • Objectives – links to program of study • Explore – activities, text, multimedia, practice, reflection • Assessment – self check, projects, assignments

  12. Lesson Components • Lesson Components Hand out

  13. Glossary • Constructivist approach • Students participate in the construction • Math 10-3 – terms and definitions provided, students add diagrams, examples, worked problems, etc. • Math 10-C – entirely student developed

  14. Toolkit • grid paper templates • math Lab templates • virtual manipulatives • video • others

  15. Assessment • Self check – students have access to answers • Math labs – activities related to concept • Try This activities – math practice • Share – communicating about math • Reflections – building understanding • Lesson Assignments • Projects

  16. Projects • One project per unit • Tied to outcomes • Deepen understandings • Hands-on where possible • Student choice • Rubrics and keys included

  17. Course Outline • Unit • Module • Lesson • See handout

  18. Teacher Guides Broken down by either unit or module. Generally they include: • Introduction to the course • Outline of the course instruction • Required materials and recommended resources • Rubrics and marking guides • Unit/module level assessments • Suggested differentiation and scaffolding strategies • Discussion and collaboration supports

  19. Math Type • Math Type was used to create most of the equations in these courses • Proper display requires with Math Type OR Euclid fonts Download Euclid fonts from http://www.dessci.com/en/dl/fonts/getfont.asp

  20. Examining a lesson Math 10-C • Unit 3 – Relations and functions • Representing relationships between variables • Unit questions • How are relations and functions different? • How can you show mathematical relationships? • When is mathematical modelling limited? • How can patterns be used to predict future events?

  21. Examining a lesson Math 10-C Module 5 focus -linear relations and functions • Prepare to host the Olympic Games • Module questions • What are linear relations and functions? • What techniques are involved in working with linear relations and functions to solve problems and communicate understanding?

  22. Examining a lesson Math 10-C Lesson 3 – Slope-Intercept Form • Lesson Questions • How does the equation of a linear function relate to its graph? • How are the properties of linear functions applied to studying and solving problems?

  23. Examining a lesson Math 10-C Unit 3 – • Module 5 • Lesson 3

  24. Examining a lesson Math 10-3 Unit 3 – Geometry • explore the geometry of angles. • examine polygons with an emphasis on the triangle. • relationships among the sides and angles of similar geometric figures. • solve problems involving similar right triangles. • Pythagorean Theorem • study trigonometry, and specifically the ratios—sine, cosine, and tangent.

  25. Examining a lesson Math 10-3 Module 5 - angles • Geometry in Sports • Module questions • How are angles defined, measured, classified, duplicated, and bisected? • What are the relationships among the angles formed when two parallel lines are cut by a third line?

  26. Examining a lesson Math 10-3 Lesson 3 – Bisecting Angles • Lesson Questions • What does it mean to bisect an angle? • How are different techniques used to bisect angles?

  27. Examining a lesson Math 10-3 Unit 3 – • Module 5 • Lesson 3

  28. How can you use a Learn EveryWare Course in your Classroom? Flexible in purpose and delivery Integrate into the classroom. • Use the whole course with teacher supplements • Use parts of the course • Use individual activities and multimedia resources

  29. Technology in the Classroom • Projector • Interactive White Board • Computer lab time • Netbooks • One to One laptops • Student owned devices (ipods, smartphones) • Text/screen readers

  30. Technology in the Classroom • Learning Management System (LMS) such as Moodle, D2L, FirstClass, etc • Learn Alberta • Website • USB or DVD • Print (print on demand or purchase)

  31. Digging Deeper • How could I start to use this resource tomorrow? • What would I need to do to implement this into my teaching environment? • What would be the benefits to my students? • How does this compare to what I currently do? • Why would I want to use this in my teaching? • What is missing in this resource?

  32. Digging Deeper • Locate your current unit of study and preview at least 3 lessons. • Different approaches to concept • Additional activities • Student engagement • Different assessment opportunities • Project • Collaboration

  33. Preview a Course Courses posted on www.LearnAlberta.ca require • Jurisdiction log in to access the student version • Individual teacher log in to access the teacher content (installation files and Teacher guides) My Preview site has stand alone student version: www.blackgold.ab.ca/courses

  34. Digging Deeper

  35. Digging Deeper • LMS, Moodle or Wiki • Projectors • Smartboards – student use • Laptops, networks and personal devices • Students who are away ill or travelling • Lesson Plans when teachers are away • Additional activities for students (school or home) • Homework support

  36. Principles of Best Practice • Frequent interaction between student and teacher • Opportunities for cooperation and collaboration among students • Students are engaged in active learning • Students receive prompt and effective feedback • Time on task is optimized • High expectations are communicated • Diverse talents and ways of learning are fostered and respected

  37. Engaging Students CHOICES • Acknowledgement of prior knowledge • Support for student readiness - scaffolding • Multiple ways students can access content - read, view or listen; virtual simulations or hands on labs. • Summative and formative assessment. • Providing multiple opportunities to reflect on, check, verify and communicate understanding.

  38. Engaging Students • Real world context • “Why” is from the real world • Provoke students toward reflection. • Each lesson provides additional focus that links to the Big Picture/Theme to connect with diverse student experiences.

  39. Engaging Students • Focus on student • How can students use technology and math resources to support higher order thinking? • Minimize demonstration • Maximize experimentation • Collaboration • Peer to Peer • Discussion

  40. What will work for you…. • Will students work on this independently? • Will you integrate it into a face to face lesson? • What additional material do you need to present to support student learning in your classroom? • How will you provide feedback to your students? • Will you use this to introduce, teach or review concepts?

  41. What will work for you…. • Start small • Start with pieces that are engaging for you and your students • Look for new opportunities for your classes
