This document discusses using various technologies like Moodle, Facebook, YouTube, and Adobe Connect for teaching mathematics. It provides examples of how these tools have been used for distributing resources, student activities, and delivering online lectures. It also discusses flipping the classroom by moving content delivery outside of class time using videos. The document suggests teachers should explore changing their pedagogy and encourages participating in social networks for professional development opportunities.

1. HOW TO USE MOODLE/
FACEBOOK/YOUTUBE/CONNECT
FOR TEACHING
MATHEMATICS.......

2. HOW TO USE MOODLE/
FACEBOOK/YOUTUBE/CONNECT
FOR TEACHING
MATHEMATICS.......
well kinda......

3. ARE YOU PREPARED TO BE
CHALLENGED?
THIS SESSION REQUIRES AN OPEN MIND - I WANT TO START A DISCUSSION!

4. 10 QUICK QUESTIONS
on paper!
1.How long have you been teaching Mathematics?
2.Remember back to your days at school - what did the Maths classroom look
like? (20 words or less!)
3.What was the structure of Maths Lessons when you were at school? (same
deal with the 20 words!)
4.Did you like Mathematics at school? Why? (20 word thingy!)
5.How were students different when you were at school? (30 words this
time!)

5. 10 QUICK QUESTIONS
on paper!
6.What does your Maths classroom look like now? (20 words or less!)
7.What is the structure of a typical Maths Lesson in your classroom? (same
deal with the 20 words!)
8.Do your students like Mathematics? Why? (20 word thingy!)
9.What impact has the DER program had on you as a teacher? (30 words)
10.Should we be changing our pedagogy? Why?
11.Why are you a teacher?
opps I can’t count :)

6. SET THEORY TIME!
save your answers from before because I want you to put them on our
wiki!

7. The Good Ol Days

8. The Good Ol Days

9. Brave New World

10. SPOT THE DIFFERENCES...

11. SPOT THE DIFFERENCES...

12. WHAT THIS SESSION WILL
COVER....HOPEFULLY!
Show a few things I have been using: (some effectively - some not so much!)
Moodle - for distribution / activities (see wiki for links to courses)
Facebook - my Year 11’s prefer it to access material - I wil show you
how to set up a group and use it effectively
Adobe Connect - I have been using this to deliver the lecture
component of the Extension classes - change in pedagogy?
YouTube - for resources - but I hate the non-Australian stuff!
Our wiki - for anything we find!

13. WHAT THIS SESSION WILL COVER
CON’T
Heaps of time for you to play and find stuff - but please put it on the wiki!
The benefits of social networking - join Maang.... or Twitter!
A dream.....

14. What it is:
A learning management system
Open-source (free) - Australian
Awesome - used by 3/4 of all Universities in Australia
How to get it:
You need a web-host (I use SIteground - semi dedicated - $150 per 3
months - but can start with $7 per month)
Willingness to take a risk - and administer it (or heaps for dedicated)

15. How it can be used
As a place for resources - on the web - access anywhere
For activities to engage students
Forums
Wiki’s
Quiz
Lesson (apparently!)

16. What doesn’t really work
Kids don’t want to develop their own understanding so the activites
tend to fall flat - should I give up?
This is our fault for spoon feeding for so long - need change in
pedagogy!
Administering all the users is a HUGE job
Teachers are merely using it as a dumping ground for materials - not
much editing!

17. How many people have a Facebook account?
Have you ever thought about using it to connect with students in a realm
they like - and want to be in!
Only problem is it is still (and probably for some time) blocked for kids -
weird situation where kids in my class with DER laptop are using their
phones to access Facebook to see my slideshare presentation on Trig! (and it
was faster than the laptops

18. Yes it can be used as more than a distraction
Have set up a Facebook Group for my Year 11 class - use it more than
Moodle for distribution of resources - but hassle that not accessible at
school (unless kids have access to a Teacher Logon!)
Don’t need to be Facebook Friends with the students in your class for them
to join your group - not sure how it works if your profile is not public?
I link to YouTube Videos & Slideshare presentations
Also use for general information (i.e. I will be away due to Floods!)

19. ADOBE CONNECT
Well I was going to show how I have used the trial of Adobe Connect to
present online for my students at night-time but.......

20. YouTube has the most fantastic resources for lesson demonstration
Khan Academy is a good starting point!
You can download using KeepVid
Use videos to provide alternatives to chalk&talk
In our finding and playing time please share on the wiki

21. DER PROGRAM
How often do you use laptops in the classroom?
Do you think it is value-adding to student acheivement? Why/ Why Not?
How has your teaching changed since the arrival of the laptops?
How much do the students like using them?
How would you rate the success of the DER program?

22. A “TYPICAL” MATHS LESSON (50
MINUTES)
By the time all students have arrived (5 minutes)
5 - 10 questions linking concepts from previous lesson to current lesson (10
minutes)
Content Delivery (often lecture style) - 15 - 20 minutes
Students completed tasks to consolidate understanding of new concepts
(10-15 minutes)
Students pack up in anticipation of bell - homework assigned (5 minutes)

23. A “TYPICAL” MATHS LESSON (50
MINUTES)
By the time all students have arrived (5 minutes)
5 - 10 questions linking concepts from previous lesson to current lesson (10
minutes)
Content Delivery (often lecture style) - 15 - 20 minutes
Students completed tasks to consolidate understanding of new concepts
(10-15 minutes)
Students pack up in anticipation of bell - homework assigned (5 minutes)
During which phase is the majority of learning
occuring?

24. FLIPPED LESSON...
By the time all students have arrived (5 minutes)
5 - 10 questions linking concepts from homework task to previous learning
(10 minutes)
Students completed tasks to consolidate understanding of new concepts (30
- 35 minutes)
Students are set homwork task to watch video introducing new concepts (5
minutes)

25. FLIPPED LESSON
The lecture style component is removed from the classroom and set as a
homework task through students watching a video
Provides more on task time in the classroom for students
Provides more time for teacher to facilitate learning in the classroom
Allows students time to engage with the “content” delivery

26. FLIPPED LESSON
The lecture style component is removed from the classroom and set as a
homework task through students watching a video
Provides more on task time in the classroom for students
Provides more time for teacher to facilitate learning in the classroom
Allows students time to engage with the “content” delivery
who produces the videos?

27. FLIPPED LESSON
Look on the wiki for some links to the change in pedagogy by flipping a
lesson
Also look for video content that already exists - e.g. Khan Academy - my
screencasts
Make your own....

28. SOCIAL NETWORKING
The best professional development!
Options
Maang - the DEC “safe” network - join the Maths teachers group Axiom
Twitter - the real world option - follow @simonborgert, @simonjob,
@woojm, @ddmyer
Google + - very new - looks cool - if you would like an invite ask!
See the wiki for links to these networks

29. PLAYTIME!
Please contribute anything you find to the wiki - You will need to join
wikispaces and request membership to the wiki - all free!
