  1. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology Frank Griffin Cate School, Carpinteria, CA TCM Conference Durham, NC 2007

  2. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology • Effectively using technology in the classroom is as much about involving kids actively and encouraging them to think as it is about pushing buttons or “bells and whistles”

  3. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology • The pedagogy: • Demonstrate, Check • Make connections • Numeric, symbolic, graphical • Visualize, see it another way • Create suspense, surprise • Think, predict, analyze • Play games, have fun

  4. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #10 Starting class: Play “guess the function” by “hiding” the equations in Y8, Y9 or Y0

  5. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology • #10

  6. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #9 Testing conjectures: • Student predictions • Give the kid in the front row the overhead calculator

  7. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #8 Seeing patterns and asking students to guess and check: • Using the home screen, tables and the Ask/Ask setting

  8. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #7 • Projecting onto a whiteboard so you can “write” on the graphs; make it like a game show • Using Horizontal and Vertical lines in the Draw menu

  9. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #7 • the Draw menu

  10. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #6 • Calling on your students randomly either with numbers or names entered into a program

  11. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #6

  12. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #5 • Using the STO-> key to test hypotheses, use parameters, or solve to check equations • Enter key to “pause” the graph • typing over an equation to retrace for “instant replay”

  13. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #4 • Showing families of curves • (multiple graphs): • using a list (L1) as a coefficient: • y = ax2 + bx + c • y = L1x2 + bx + c

  14. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #3 • Preparing for class: • Using graph data bases (GDB) to save functions and save time! • (in the DRAW menu)

  15. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #2 • Using regular function notation • Y VARS, e.g Y1(2) or Y1(x+2) to show variations and transformations

  16. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #2

  17. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology And now the #1 technique! • Animating curves with parametrics and polar curves; • “replaying” the action in real time (using a stopwatch) • Use x=T, y=f(T) to animate any function; • Using SIMUL and • SEQUENTIAL modes

  18. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology #1

  19. T5: Top Ten Teaching Tips with Technology • This wasn’t David Letterman, but I hope you enjoyed the presentation and picked up something to enhance your classroom and help your students. Thanks!
