  1. The Digital Divide: Using Emerging Web 2.0 Technologies to Teach Math Robin Angotti Keri Marino University of Washington Bothell

  2. The “Evolution” of the Web: What is Web 2.0? • Web 1.0 • Consuming content • Univocal - (Wertsch, 1998) • Web 2.0 • Communication, content creation, collaboration • Users write, create media, interact with other users, participate in learning networks • Dialogic (Wertsch, 1998)

  3. The “Evolution” of the Student: Who are Students 2.0? • Digital Natives (Prensky, 2001) • Technology is ubiquitous to their world • Fundamental differences in the way they process information • Patterns of thinking have changed • It has been suggested that their experiences with digital input has lead to different brain structures

  4. The “Evolution” of the Teacher: Who are Teachers 2.0? • Digital Immigrants (Prensky, 2001) • Cultural Migration • No matter how much the immigrants may wish it, the digital natives will probably not go backwards • Adult Digital Immigrants • Not So Smart • Spend time complaining about the “way things were” • Smart • Recognize they are unfamiliar with their new world • Recognize that the younger generation can help them learn and integrate into a new culture

  5. The “Evolution” of Math: What is Math 2.0? • What does that mean for teaching and learning mathematics? Technology Content Pedagogy Assessment

  6. Dynamic representations

  7. Fathom • Easy to use

  8. Collaboration and Communication

  9. Voicethread.com • Easy to use • Asynchronous dialogic forum • Showcase students work • Teacher controls the security • Pros/Cons? • Not “real-time” • Teachers/Students can work at their convenience • Free (or minimal cost)

  10. Examples of VoicethreadPreCal Example 29. The rate at which water is entering a reservoir is given for time t > 0 by the graph in the following figure. A negative rate means that water is leaving the reservoir. For each of the following statements, give the largest interval on which: (a)  The volume of water is increasing. (b)  The volume of water is constant. (c)  The volume of water is increasing fastest. (d)  The volume of water is decreasing.

  11. Examples of Voicethread • Classroom Collaboration • Example from Robin’s Precal Class • http://voicethread.com/share/457972/ • Examples from Tammy’s Class • http://uwb-education-tammywright2009.wikispaces.com/NCTM+Presentation

  12. Examples of Voicethread • Student Presentations

  13. Journaling

  14. Reflective Learning Journals • The use of math journals is one way to incorporate writing and reflection into the math classroom. • Challenges of student journals: • Grading • Time

  15. How Web 2.0 can be used for student journals. Blogs and RSS feeds: • Student created personal blogs using blogger.com or edublogs.org. • Teacher created a web based feed aggregator http://kj-meg.blogspot.com/ http://skzprecalc.blogspot.com

  16. Feed Reader http://feedraider.com/u/kjmarino/

  17. More uses for blogs in mathematics teaching • Using a blog as a teacher web site. • A collaborative class blog in which students create a “solution manual.” • A collaborative class blog to create summaries of topics covered. (Solomon, G. & Schrum, L., 2007. Web 2.0: New tools, new schools.)

  18. Resources • Everything 2.0 by Bob Stumpel • Calculator 2.0 • Fooplot
