I found this great article on how to motivate students in a high school math class. I definitely plan on implementing some of these strategies in my future classroom! #515Davis

Watching the additional online videos for our virtual practicum has allowed me to look at a lot of different approaches I would have never seen else wise and has made me begin thinking about which of those approaches I may want to implement in the future. #515Davis

To add to my practicum log, I am going to host zoom sessions with classes in my internship to go over information they were confused about so that they are literate in the content being covered. I also am going to be recording supplemental videos to help aid this. #515Davis

This is a great article on how to create a math project that would be culturally responsive. #515Davis

Hey Everyone!! I am in the Secondary Math program and have had practicum placements in 2 MS and 2 HS in Stafford and Spotsylvania counties. This year, my student internship is in a Fred City HS teaching pre-calc/trig, trig, geometry, and AP Calc! @JanineSDavis #515Davis

A major challenge to mobile learning in your classroom is the accessibility of the technology for the students. If your school doesn't have the proper technology, or your students don't have access to the technology at home, it could be very difficult to implement. #INDT501

In my assignment, each question is a QR code that the students scan to see the actual question. Then after completing the question, they have to check their answer with the teacher prior to moving to the next question. My questions came from previously released SOLs #INDT501

[Noah Carpenter @ncarpenterUMW]

When creating my assignment, I decided to use QR codes instead of augmented reality because I felt it would lend itself to more breaks for the teacher to aid the students while completing the assignment at hand #INDT501

[Noah Carpenter @ncarpenterUMW]

For this assignment, I chose to review the app @GetKahoot because it is an activity that a lot of students like to do in classes. I wrote a critical evaluation about how it would work with math classes in my most recent blogpost at https://t.co/ee3UpZZyvZ #INDT501

Another thing that I could do to encourage proper information literacy skills is to encourage the use of databases that are provided by the school to the students. These databases are always great sources for students completing research assignments, while staying safe. #INDT501

[Noah Carpenter @ncarpenterUMW]

(2/2) By booking time in the lab, it will also allow my students time to ask me questions on whether or not their sources are good sources. This will help build their information literacy skills and better prepare them for future schooling and research papers. #INDT501

[Noah Carpenter @ncarpenterUMW]

(1/2) To make sure all students have the opportunity to use the technology required to research mathematicians, I will reserve a computer lab/book time in a library computer lab to allow students time to research. #INDT501

[Noah Carpenter @ncarpenterUMW]

I loved using @Pinterest to help my students with the project I created. The images I pinned to the boards are aimed at helping them find mathematicians to research, how to find proper sources, how to properly cite those sources, and how to write a research paper #INDT501

[Noah Carpenter @ncarpenterUMW]

(2/2) I do not agree with this at all and feel that knowing the history behind the math you are learning will help the students have a well-rounded math education. That is why I created a project for my future students that will incorporate the history of math. #INDT501

[Noah Carpenter @ncarpenterUMW]

(1/2) While looking for a standard to use in Module Activity #3, I was shocked to find that ZERO math standards include the words "research" or "mathematicians", which shows the history of math isn't considered essential knowledge for high school math students #INDT501

[Noah Carpenter @ncarpenterUMW]

Creating a podcast was something that I had never done before, but it was really easy to do with the anchor app. It was nice to be able to reflect on module activity 2 and to be creative with some intro and outdo music. Check out my podcast at https://t.co/yFrWb1xcvT #INDT501

[Noah Carpenter @ncarpenterUMW]

I was excited when I realized that I could tie the activity I made to the manipulated image from module activity 1! I believe that this will help keep the students engaged in the activity I made. You can read more about my lesson at https://t.co/JDHUc6ibSQ #INDT501

On TinkerCad, I played around with making a stopwatch and for such a simple object to make, it took me a LONG time to understand what I was doing. I still do not have it down 100%, but I am excited to keep learning the software so I am a master by the time I am teaching #INDT501

[Noah Carpenter @ncarpenterUMW]

This module really challenge what I knew about technology and what type of technology I would implement in my classroom. Without this module, I don't think I ever would have implemented the TinkerCad software into a lesson plan, but now I think it is a great option! #INDT501

[Noah Carpenter @ncarpenterUMW]

I chose to highlight VDoE standard AII.7 in my module activity because it highlights functions and I believe that the material would be the best for lending itself to technology and interactive activities. It also had a lot of opportunities to real life connections #INDT501
