Teaching

Recent student video projects

by bledsoe on June 18, 2013

Here are a few videos that my students made in my classes this year. I really like the level of engagement I get from the students when they're creating videos, not just in the actual recording of the video, but also in the preparation and planning for the video. Preparing a video is like preparing to teach something to someone else, and in order to teach something you have to really understand it yourself. This motivates students to ask questions and discuss their topics with each other in much greater depth than they would otherwise.

Here's a short video a student made to explain the "Pythagorean Theorem":

Here's a longer video a student made to explain the characteristics of the function y = √x:

Here's a video of some of my students actually making their videos:

Hollywood teachers vs. actual teachers

I finally got around to watching the movie Freedom Writers the other day, and found it both enjoyable and disturbing. It was enjoyable in the way that many movies are, which is to say that it was entertaining, if predictable. Hillary Swank was great as real life high school teacher Erin Gruwell, a tirelessly dedicated [...]

Do students who do their homework get higher grades?

Like many teachers, I get a little annoyed when my students don't do their homework, since I've always been pretty sure their overall grades would be better if they did. I recently decided to do a little statistical analysis to find out if there was in fact any correlation between my students' homework grades and [...]

When self-image conflicts with learning

Upton Sinclair has a famous quote that goes, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, if his salary depends on his not understanding it." I see a similar principle at work with many of my high school students: It is difficult to get a student to understand something when their self-image depends on [...]

Cleaning the oven

The summer after I graduated from high school I worked as a dishwasher at a restaurant. It was my first real part-time job and I liked it okay. I loved the money I made and the feeling of being a grown-up and the work itself wasn't so bad, though I really disliked cleaning the oven. [...]

Pretending to work

One of the things a teacher has to do all the time is decide whether or how to address a particular incident of student behavior. Some behaviors need to be addressed directly (i.e., by directly confronting the student), some need to be addressed indirectly, and some need to be simply ignored. But how do you [...]

The four levels of group work

In the high school math classes that I teach, my students spend a lot of class time working together in small groups. There are a lot of benefits to having students working in groups, so I've been pretty intentional about designing my classes so that group work is central. There's a lot more to successful [...]

Playing is too much work

I was becoming a little frustrated with my attempts to use GeoGebra in my Geometry classes. I had found or created a bunch of GeoGebra apps that fit with different parts of the course, and had created some worksheets/instructions to guide my students thru some exploration-type activities where they could discover, for example, properties of [...]

Virgin Mobile and permutations

The recent uproar over Virgin Mobile's less-than-adequate password security came at a particularly good time for me, as I was teaching about permutations in my Advanced Functions and Modeling class. I definitely recommend that you read the details of Kevin Burke's discovery of Virgin's massive security hole(s), but the short version is that he discovered [...]
