Visual algebra is an interesting idea. |
|
| 2. |
In my view students may "buy-in" to algebra if
more visual methods are used. |
|
| 3. |
I have found new ways to convey algebra to the student |
|
| 4. |
My students have access to a spreadsheet program. |
|
| 5. |
The software/visual approach may be ok for some students,
but the traditional methods (text/lecture based) are still the best way. |
|
| 6. |
One of my technology goals is for students to be able to
use the classroom computer as another tool for learning. |
|
| 7. |
I regard myself as more capable in the use of spreadsheets
for a variety of purposed. |
|
| 8. |
Using Camtasia to make movies is easier than I thought it
would be |
|
| 9. |
I hope to be able to produce video clips to explain mathematical
concepts. |
|
| 10. |
Maple is a powerful tool, but I doubt if I will be able
to use it in my teaching. |
|
| 11. |
Scientific Notebook is a powerful tool, but I doubt if I
will be able to use it in my teaching. |
|
| 12. |
If I had my choice, I would probably buy Maple rather than
Scientific Notebook. |
|
| 13. |
I regard myself as more capable in the use of spreadsheets
for a variety of purposed. |
|
| 14. |
Excel is something that every student can learn. |
|
| 15. |
Visual algebra is nice, but we need to stress drill type
problems for student achievement. |
|
| 16. |
Using a data example and then building to a model may help
motivate students. |
|
| 17. |
Asking students to develop a model from data is generally
beyond their abilities. |
|
| 18. |
Using data to illustrate the important of various types
of variable dependencies will stimulate student interest. |
|
| 19. |
Tthe student-centered classroom sounds nice, but the curriculum
does not allow for such methods. |
|
| 20. |
Teaching with technology is here, and here to stay. |
|
| 21. |
Visual methods in calculus should be developed even further
under the paradigms generated with algebra. |
|
| 22. |
Visual methods can also be used for statistics courses |
|
| 23. |
This workshop was worthwhile. |
