Q5: I hope to discover and get my feet wet with new and creative ways to integrated tech into the classroom. I feel this course will give me the opportunity to try out many platforms and help me find what works best for me and my students! #MCtechsavvy2

Q4: Google Docs, for example, is great to allow flexible and efficient student collaboration on projects. Easy to share resources/links etc. Twitter can also allow teachers to pose questions/lead and moderate discussions (like this!). Instant feedback and critique. #MCtechsavvy2

Q3: Ideally for me, tech should be a connecting tool. Not overwhelming to the point of being forced, but to allow collaboration, efficiency in day-to-day, and additionally to enhance curriculum/content. 1) Connectivity 2) Student engagement! #MCtechsavvy2

[Bryan Beach @bryan_beach]

@jmattmiller @MrsJessicaRyan I relate to this so much. Always trying to find ways to do more and more. It is impossible to do everything, but by being smart and efficient, we can do a lot without feeling too overwhelmed

Q2:Using twitter chat allows students to share among themselves their problem areas and spark new ideas/strategies. This collab. allows students to share strategies and approach concepts in different ways. Students perhaps too reserved in class now have a new outlet #MCtechsavvy2

Q1: I've hosted twitter chats tin the past as a means for regents prep. Great way to remotely answer student questions and tweet links/questions/solutions etc. #MCtechsavvy2

My name is Bryan Beach and I am a math teacher at Schreiber HS in Port Washington (2nd year), currently teaching 9th/10th grade. #MCtechsavvy2

You can show AD=BC (Isosc Trap), Triangle(DEC) is isosc (2 = angles) so DE=CE. And <DEA and <CEB are right (given that lines are perpendicular).

August 2017 proof question: https://t.co/keDPIUcuKv
The key was to use the given info to find congruent parts of the 2 Triangles #beachmath

[Bryan Beach @bryan_beach]

@jjalex2002 For others, use SSS, SAS etc and try and find congruent sides and angles (look for bisectors, given rectangles etc.) #beachmath

[Bryan Beach @bryan_beach]

@jjalex2002 For similarity proofs, use the given info to find congruent angles and use AA (parallel lines, alternate interior etc #beachmath

[Bryan Beach @bryan_beach]

@jjalex2002 They will ask at least one, could be a congruence style proof or a similarity proof.

@jjalex2002 eg. a hexagon has 6 sides, so 360/6 = 60 means you could rotate a hexagon 60, 120, 180, 240, 200 degrees onto itself #beachmath

[Bryan Beach @bryan_beach]

@jjalex2002 The regents wont ask about area of shapes like hexagons etc. But they most likely will about rotating shapes #beachmath

@MikePereira Houston Game: If Gary Kubiak throws the challenge flag after the Forsett TD, can he effectively "block" the review of the play?
