As I am reflecting on my experience of working with Chinese mathematics and science teachers, my students (in a graduate course on mathematics and science education I am currently teaching) pointed out to me that I missed a CBC radio… Read moreIs there something wrong with the way math is being taught?
This is a very special certificate for me. I am so glad I decided to take on this challenge. I have learned so much from these teachers and I am looking forward to more interactions with our Chinese colleagues.
We have had a very exciting day playing with Vernier equipment last Wednesday. We have done 7 experiments with motion detectors, force probes, CO2 sensors, temperature probes, pH sensors, etc. It was very exciting to see the level of engagement… Read moreVernier Logger Pro Workshop in Beijing
I started teaching the second week of my course today. I have enjoyed the day very much as I had a very good interpretor, and I knew much better how to engage students. Today we discussed how to use… Read moreTeaching in BJ – Week 2
As I have just started teaching and online summer course ETEC 533, I decided to re-read the book that has been serving as a key reading (one might say the backbone) to the entire course: How People Learn: Brain, Mind,… Read moreHow People Learn
I am honoured to be invited to teach a special two-week professional development course for mathematics and science educators in China (Chaoyang School District in Beijing). I am looking forward to it as I am sure I will learn a… Read moreGetting ready for Beijing
My colleague, Dr. Jungsook Oh and I are collaborating on a research study investigating the mathematics and science educators’ attitudes about technology. In order to collect the date we had to learn about some new (for us) technology as well:… Read moreResearch study on STEM Educators’ attitudes about technology
I just came back from attending the NARST Conference in Chicago. It was a great opportunity for me to see what is going on in the world of research on science education. Out of all the talks, I found… Read moreNARST Reflections 2015
I had been very fortunate to present my work at Aarhus University in Denmark. I spoke about the use of technology in physics teacher education. However the most interesting and inspiring part of my visit was meeting local physics teacher-candidates… Read moreResearch Presentation at Aarhus University
As graduate students participating in my online MET course “Mathematics and science teaching and learning with technology” finishing their projects, I would like to post the links to their projects, so other educators can benefit from them. I am always… Read moreEducational Tutorials: MET ETC 533 2015 Course
