The Adventures of Mrs. A on the Geometry Internet Trail - Rosita Alston, techLearning
Come and take a journey with me, my fellow geometry teachers, and motivate your students in a new way. We'll travel the road where no student wants to go at first. But now, my students come to class anticipating their next project. The failure rate is low because project based learning along with technology increases their ability to retain what they learn. I taught mathematics the way I learned mathematics. No offense to the teachers who taught me, but my students live in the technology age, and so everything is different. Tradition was great then but times surely do change. My kids were bored to tears, and I had to do something about it. The curriculum has been rewritten 5 or 6 times since I have been teaching and the textbook has been adopted 5 times. I have seen the Apple IIe come and go. The Macintosh LC II Lab was remarkable in its day, but now with the PC, I teach my geometry students through the use of the Internet and project-based learning.
