CTAP 295 Presentation By Tammy Boehme Calculus Slope of the Curve Las Plumas High School

Expectations Experiences Meet new people Enjoy my “field trip” to Willows Accomplishments Survive Design a web page Find better web resources

Learning Experiences I met really nice teachers from Willows I’m getting older— suffered from tired tush and eye strain Accomplishments I survived, but not without wear and tear Learned web design Found great web resources

Lesson Shortcomings Web page design needed improvement Lesson may need to be reduced to 3 days

Lesson Successes Students worked through lesson with little teacher assistance All students were successful

Lesson Results Variations in data were insignificant. Males did slightly better on the quiz (out of 10 points). Females did slightly better at the end of the lesson (out of 6 points)

Revisions? Great results! Students were positive about the animations and instant feedback on problems No need to revise the content of the lesson

Web Page Design? Needed Some Work Gave each day it’s own page instead of one activities page Removed objectives that were repetitive Fixed bad links

Has CTAP 295 Changed My Views? NO! I was already a supporter of Standards Based Curriculum I was already a believer in the power of technology to enhance student learning and performance

What Have I Gained? I can design a web page—who knew? I can find great new resources on the Internet I can share all the above with my students
