Scrolling through my Feedly a few weeks ago, I came across a Richard Byrne blogpost describing something called a Hyperdoc, so I read through and thought, hey… they’re just describing a OneNote page!  (And I’m old enough to think, “Hey, Webquest!”) And so I dug in a little bit more… Continue Reading #Hyperdocs …. or, like, just a OneNote

So using Desmos activities are a great way to encourage exploration and discussion in math class — if you haven’t tried them, I encourage it.  They’re collected at https://teacher.desmos.com/  But … Desmos doesn’t give you quite enough.  It doesn’t have a way of capturing the work that the student does within… Continue Reading Desmos, OneNote & Replay

So Microsoft Teams EDU is a new layer added to Sharepoint/Office365 to make the space workable.

So we have a period of time in our course where we have two summative activities and then a final exam. Basically, a lot of time to review as we try to pull ideas together and strengthen skills & understanding.  And, as always, working on collaboration and feedback. Idea #1… Continue Reading Reviewing Math in OneNote – 2 ideas make it easier

So it happened that the day I was going to give a test, I couldn’t, so I needed to quickly get together some review questions for the students to work on. (Sorry, I wasn’t ready to start the next unit with them, and besides, it was the first class after… Continue Reading When OneNote (& the Class Tools) makes your life easier…
