what I found powerful (particularly about the second example around teaching function) – was that the use of ‘math technology’ led to great ‘student talk’ and ‘discussion’ – Personally, I am a slow math learner – and it helps me to take the ‘esoteric’ out of the mentally trying to represent words into an image into a more tactical – where the…[Read more]

To be honest – the question really took me some time to work through – because the expectations (for teacher moves and students moves) seemed to be contingent on the context (or difference) in a secondary math classroom that culminates into a Regents Exam (if you are in NYS) or a class that does not culminate in a State exam. For example in a…[Read more]

I really enjoyed reading the article – and the use of digital tools (multimodal) as a means for students to share their journeys and experiences. The visual mapping was important to me in the storytelling. Too often – I hear (and experience) disconnects particularly around the many different log ins (SOE gmail, to CUNY to CUNY first) – and how…[Read more]

Some were aligned to the the ideas of viral justice, speculate everything as well as the student surfacing thinking around Skratch – others are more inquiry based on some like on my dissertation are around the multimodal design – I am sharing an inquiry -…[Read more]

Here is my remix (Not sure if I did correctly) – but I share with the mindset of love.

Im Sean Turner (He, Him, His) – I am an Adjunct Professor in Special Education – and teach a wide range of courses. I am excited about all the digital tools – explored so far – some of which I have used a lot (Padlet/Scratch) and others (particularly around the data) I am looking to learn more or ways to integrate into the courses I work with.
