Copy your definition from Week 5 Discussion: Definitions of Technology as an entry: David Jonassen’s (2000) analogy of the interplay between learning technology appeals to me. He suggests educational technologies are just a set of tools for students to get access to meaningful thinking. His metaphor is a vivid exhibit of constructionism and provokes educators …
“The activities of module A lesson two will be handled differently this term. In an effort to lighten your workload due to the pandemic, you will not be performing your own case study interviews.

My initial thoughts for assignment 1 are: how to effectively integrate technologies to promote learning engagement in math and science classrooms. In the previous discussion, I wrote the ‘good use of technology in learning math and science could be leveraged to solve math and science classrooms’ most challenging problem: learning engagements including positive motion, efforts …
Notes on Jan 24: My choice of assignment 2 will go to option 1: Inquiry e-Folio Instead of designing a STEM learning experience, as an administrator working closely with new edtech developers, I would like to… 1. to understand the challenges that educators encounter in math and science courses by adding more scholarly research into …
I once had a similar explanation to Heather’s private universe back to middle school. After a brief introduction to astronomy, I incorrectly believed the earth moved around the sun in a spiral course, so the orbit looked like a copper coil. In that class, my teacher used a particular term ‘regression’ to describe the period …
I believe the good use of technology in learning math and science could be leveraged to solve math and science classrooms’ most challenging problem: learning engagement. For my undergrad, I studied math and business at the University of Waterloo. I’ve noticed there is a big difference between pure math classrooms and applied math (stats, finance, …
My first impression regarding integrating technologies into mathematic by myself was in grade 5. When I try to recall that moment, I’m not sure if I was working on a tricky Olympiad math problem or another kind of math homework. I was at home alone, but I was eager to know if I had the …
Where you live (town and country)? Hi everyone! My name is Yi. After eight years of learning in Canada, I currently live in my hometown Nanjing, an ancient and beautiful city that used to be the capital of 6 dynasties in China. I graduated from the University of Waterloo with a BMath in Applied Mathematics …
