Distinguished Educators Seminar Series: Using the web to teach problem‐solving in math

Bring your own device (BYOD) to this hands‐on workshop on using open sourced and web‐based technology to engage learning and enable problemsolving in mathematics.

Topics:

• Using web‐based (and database connected) interactive math apps to ensure a solid foundation in math skills
• Flipping the class using presentation software and screen‐capture video
• Enabling students to create their own web‐based videos to solve problems and share understanding
• Using web‐based rubric tools to assess student projects
