When I see great teaching I see math scripts, videos, filmmaking, and \u201csyntax\u201d which is what my teacher calls \u201cscratch work.\u201d
\n\tIn my picture, you see a student working on math syntax using a digital tablet.
\n\tThis year my class used these tablets and our computers to make a LOT of how to films for math. You can see these videos on our YouTube Channel, Curiosity Films. You can also find them on the California Math Demonstration Center\u2019s website. You might say we\u2019re famous for our math work.
\n\tI think technology is a good resource to use when learning, because it keeps kids like me entertained.
\n\tWhen I am entertained it makes me want to learn more, because I learn using really cool technology. When I work on worksheets sitting in my desk my attention drifts, because I\u2019m not having as much fun as I could be making films and using technology to learn.
\n\tWhen a teacher explains a mathematical subject to me and just gives me homework about it, I don\u2019t learn. But when I have to teach that mathematical subject to our YouTube viewers by making a film about it, I find I\u2019m actually understanding it even better\u2026and I\u2019m having fun at the same time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
