Digital Images

IDEA: Students will conduct a survey on a topic they are interested in.  For example, “How many students prefer Coke over Pepsi?”  Students will create an Infographic to display their data.  Students will analyze their data to find the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of their data and include this information in their Infographic.

Blooms:
-Students will analyze data and find the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of their data.
-Students will create an Infographic to display their data.

Application: When I created my Infographic, I took into consideration many of the principles we learned about.  When I was creating step-by-step instruction on graphing, I made sure that I had both text and graphics presented together.  As read about in Spatial Contiguity Principle,  when graphics and text are presented nearby, it is easier for a learner to make connections.  In the video I selected, the Temporal Contiguity Principle came into play.  In this video, graphics and narration were presented simultaneously.  This will also help my students make connections.  It is easier to learn when there is a visual representation of what the narrator is describing.  In general, these principles are all very relevant to digital image technologies because graphics can be an effective learning tool but only if they are used properly.

Reflection:  I really enjoyed this week’s project.  I think I can use Infographics in my math classroom to help give visual representations of topics being discussed.  This will be extremely beneficial to my visual learners.  I could see myself making one of these for every unit as a quick way to access information and help my students to make connections.  I also believe it is easy enough that my students could also make their own Infographics.  This is a great way for students to use technology to show what they have learned. I can’t wait to use this in my classroom!

    Very cool idea of looking at a simple task of surveying people who like Coke vs Pepsi people and with the combination of infographic to display the data! I think this is a perfect way to include technology into your lesson and make it a fun learning experience. Nice work!

    I keep seeing gifs that are much more focused than the one I created. I like that you used the gif to show a sine function being graphed. This would be very helpful to have on hand when doing a difficult math problem. I also like that your infographic was short and sweet. I think that clearly follows Mayerś principles.

    Your infographic and gif are excellent.

Padlet Reflection

I created a Padlet that will be used to differentiate review in my classroom.   For the first part of the lesson, students will visit the standards that they have not mastered.   This gives them the opportunity to focus on areas that need improvement.   In each of these standards, the website has sample problems that students can practice.   For the second part of this lesson, students will choose one standard they have mastered and add a link to where this standard could be applied to a real life situation.   These real-life situations will help students who are struggling make a connection and will give students who have already mastered this content to think deeper about the standard they have learned.   This will be a great opportunity for me to discuss copyright rules with the students and show them what is and isn’t allowed to be shared within the Padlet.   Bloom’s Objectives: -Students will upload real life examples from a website of thei...

Introduction

Hello!   My name is Sarah Lutsic and I live in Dearborn, Michigan.   I graduated with my BS in Secondary Education from CMU in May 2015 with a major in Mathematics and a minor in Earth Science and Middle Level Education.    This is my second year of teaching.  My first year was spent at Berkley High School where I taught as a math interventionist.  I worked with students on APEX Learning to receive credit for classes they didn’t pass in the normal classroom setting.  Currently, I am working at Dearborn High School as an Algebra 2 teacher.  This school has a high population of ELL students and has been an exciting challenge! I am concerned about the time I have to dedicate to this course.  The end of the school year is coming in quick and should become much more manageable once that is done.
