Interactions Discussion Forums for content delivery and grading – beyond personal introduction Ask students to: • post solutions to review questions • find graphs on the internet and have students describe the dependent and independent variables • identify their calculator model; describe the use of one feature

  6. Interactions Discussion Forums - ask students to: • describe examples of commutative processes from their real life (and one that is not) • describe one feature of a complicated graph (domain, range, intercepts, increasing / decreasing intervals, max/min points, equation, etc.) • use your imagination!

Resources Jing • captures an image or video of the screen • loads the material to the Internet • assigns it a URL (pasting it in your clipboard) • the URL can be used as any other website URL • It's not as sophisticated as Camtasia or SnagIt, BUT... it's free, it's simple, and it doesn't require any server space of your own • students could use it!

  16. General Comments Always proof-read anything you post Re-write materials that students find confusing Check links on a regular basis Limit the number of sites you use for communications – too many will frustrate students

  17. General Comments Respond Quickly to students – tell them your expected response time up front Let students know if you will be gone or need to change your response time temporarily Make students aware of computer requirements and any plug-ins they will need ahead of time
