Do graphics calculators “come back” for higher maths courses, o]]> 2017-10-03 02:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193256555 Tech at University https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193256815 I understand the roadblocks but philosophically is this the continued direction of assessment at university or is there a movement for change?]]> 2017-10-03 02:54:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193256815 It is a shame that there is a huge gap between secondary and tertiary. Why are we not working on making this transistion easy? What is the success rate for the first year Math courses at the Uni? Are students mentored if they are coming from huge background of tech ( calculator) use? https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193257032 2017-10-03 02:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193257032 Secondary Micro-Management (STEVEN) https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193257409 With the huge push in the market for apps and programs to make learning available for students, how do you manage checking all of them, or is there a way to find out if something is good for your educational needs without making a personal investigation]]> 2017-10-03 03:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193257409 Can we get someone from Casio in the debate? https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193257526 2017-10-03 03:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193257526 Isnt teaching with high tech and then assessing with low tech a bit at odds? Isn't that a bit like learning how to use a car but being tested on a push bike? angelajones5 https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193257692 2017-10-03 03:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193257692 Assessment at University https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193258863 Are any courses at Uni looking at different forms of assessment (eg. less focus on end of course exams)?]]> 2017-10-03 03:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193258863 Calculator use https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193258951 What about statistics based exams? Are they expected to calculate statistics with a basic calculator or given them and focus is on interpretations?]]> 2017-10-03 03:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193258951 Technology Proof Writing (STEVEN) https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193259031 What happens when a student is dead set that his/her “proof” is correct because, in every instance they have tested it, the statement is true, but it is not true outside of the scope of the technology (and the teacher in charge does not understand that the claim is false, but trusts the technological crutch)]]> 2017-10-03 03:14:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193259031 I am also interested in the assessment at university questions. angelajones5 https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193260077 2017-10-03 03:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193260077 Are scientists and mathematicians in the field using the same tools or do they use more sophisticated tools and models angelajones5 https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193260332 2017-10-03 03:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193260332 Stats vs Maths https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193260355 Was Dan's presentation this morning stats or maths? ]]> 2017-10-03 03:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193260355 I wonder what Eric Mazur would think about this debate? http://harvardmagazine.com/2012/03/twilight-of-the-lecture angelajones5 https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193260618 2017-10-03 03:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193260618 Expected Student Profiling from Secondary -> Tertiary (JULIA) https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193261052 What is the standard “pathway” of a student who come into university. Do you notice a difference between the different fundamental skill levels of students who come from different standards backgrounds. I.E. does a student who has done well in level 3 differentiation/integration struggle more or less than a student who has done well in level 2 algebra/statistics?]]> 2017-10-03 03:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193261052 How many students who do maths stage 1 continue on all the way with pure maths angelajones5 https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193261100 2017-10-03 03:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193261100 Designing Desmos Programming (DAN) https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193261351 How difficult is it to develop the technology/programming/code for what you are trying to accomplish with the Desmos program. What pushed you to feel the need to develop the program?]]> 2017-10-03 03:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193261351 Designing Desmos Programming ( https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193261359 2017-10-03 03:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193261359 Do lecturers receive teaching training at all? angelajones5 https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193261630 2017-10-03 03:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193261630 I understand the difficulty for universities but is it fair if you pay somewhere near $2000 (and thats online) must be more for other courses to be treated like a number? angelajones5 https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193262489 2017-10-03 03:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cami_sawyer/lxc7ow8mzdtz/wish/193262489
