Mathematica Based Calculus Lab By Jason Gregersen To Get Started: 1.Go to the website: 2.Open Mathematica from your desktop

Goals In this workshop you will learn: How to use Mathematica How we teach Mathematica to our students How we support our students learning How we structure an online math lab for 1400 students why we teach Mathematica and what we teach

Along the way we will play with: Poll everywhere Canvas Camtasia Studio Screencast-o-matic You Tube Google Hangouts

Introduction to Mathematica Cells Evaluation Storing variables and defining functions Plotting Manipulate But first…..where are you at now????

Teaching Mathematica Instruction Assessment Support

Teaching Mathematica Instruction – Notebooks – Videos Pre-made onstart/ onstart/ Camtasia Studio Screencast-o-matic,

Teaching Mathematica Assessment () – Notebooks and Quizzes

Teaching Mathematica Support – Physical Room Staffed – Google Hangouts

Teaching Mathematica Things we have learned as we have developed content. Content needs to be; – Frequent – Assessed formally with an exam – Relevant and useful – Interesting …… think Steve Jobs

Structure Remember the student experience as a whole and make the lab as streamlined as possible. Unlike this bullet point use as few words as possible. Videos make directions clear and unambiguous Master your LMS

Things we have learned The first two weeks are chaos Clear process for late/make-up work Clear instructions for online problems

Why we teach Mathematica Relatively easy to get started with and work with Symbolically feels like familiar math Visually stunning (wolfram demonstrations) It is a real tool….. Allows students a language to program with And.. Image processing, data set, raspberry pi

Current Student Projects Pi programming 3D printing Solar panel And ….. eik

Thank your Time Jason Gregersen
