(Thank you Eddie, Denny, and Chai for helping me test my project.)
Here is the link for my course:

It was fun learning Udutu. The tutorials were awesome because they were short and to the point. I did not get too fancy with customizing my template but I took the "Hello my name is" gif and made it my own. I think the hardest thing to do was figure out what to upload onto the UdutuTeach. I was confused at first about what to upload, but them I tried uploading the zip file and everything worked out fine. I got one friend who tested my course at 3:30am which was about the time I finished. I guess I'm a night owl in the summer time.
@Thourn - I liked your video embedded at the end of the lesson, showing a real world example. This brought the abstraction of the formula into an actual situation that the students could understand and calculate, but also possibly reenact themselves on a smaller scale. This did a good job of making the content relevant and bringing the information full circle to the initial teaching about the right-angle equations.
ReplyDeleteThourn I was really impressed by the real world example. It reminded me so much of the project we did with the math word problems. I think you did a really good job of creating a holistic lesson. I felt like everything was unified an connected. I did not miss a beat. It was a refresher for me since I haven't taken math like that in a long time. Overall great job.
ReplyDeleteGeometry has always been the “challenging” subject for me! I like your interactive board showing the problem. On your assessment, I like how if I got the answer wrong it made me jump back to watch the video again. The best part I liked about your course was the “Real Life” portion. I remembering asking my geometry teacher, “when am I ever going to use this again?” and “why do I have to learn this?”. I also loved your logo! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteThourn, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for your Udutu Geometry lesson. I will definitely be subscribing. Your teaching style is easy to understand. If I had you for a teacher in high school I probably wouldn't feel the way I do about math. I was so excited to get them correct.
ReplyDeleteMath has never been my strong suit, and although it was the review was clear, it made me feel like I was still in a classroom. Which is fine but with UDUTU you can try to make an attempt to liven up the lesson and or review. I thought that the lesson was effective and straightforward but lacked the coach2win glitter. The real world example at the end made it real for me.
