Well, today's class started out with going over the grade updates and I found out my cool tools screencast bombed. The outline I decided to use wasn't very effective because as I transitioned between points I used the "uhms".
Discusssion plus/Delta on Chapter 10.
One positive we used in our presentation was right away we broke into a jigsaw discussion groups. The group made serious effort to make colors and shapes to divide the groups. A related delta to using the jigsaw is to actually call it a jigsaw discussion to improve our terminology vocabulary. The group did a positive job using multiple tools like the interactive whiteboard and using the document camera instead of focusing on one tool. A delta is to watch the "uhms" again, which I find to be a problem with myself. Another positive that they went over the directions prior to moving into the groups to avoid confusion and getting off task. They also had good movement roaming between the group but a change would be to coordinate it differently so once one instructor leaves the group another doesn't arrive.
I found the media search rather fun when it came down to finding items to get one of the five topics of an online video, a podcast, a SMART Notebook lesson, a Scratch project, and an online game. I found it kind of fun to do a quick search. A lot of the material I searched to begin was just to get the ball rolling and that I wanted to get at least three, but instead I got four. My topic that I would like to teach is mathematics in the Elementary or more likely the Middle School level. I found it interesting that I found a person who posted youtube videos of homeschooling mathematics.
