1. Integrating Multi Media into the Mathematics Classroom Jennifer Wathall [email_address]

2. Objective Look at alternative ways of presenting mathematics to students which involve multi media to enhance learning for the digital native or e generation.

3. Why? How? What? Who?

5. Why?

7. Digital Native Generation M E Generation Digital Immigrant Early Adopters?

8. Why Multi Media? Why Digital Education? “ Technology has always been an important factor for education, but the rapid development of Internet and digital technology over the past decade is changing more than just the equipment used in the classroom: kids' learning styles and school behavior are constantly being shaped by the growing presence of the Internet”. Marc Prenksy www.digitalnative.org

9. What? Who?

10. What is multi media? In general, multimedia includes a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, still images, animation, video, and interactivity. Multimedia can recorded and played, displayed or accessed by computerized and electronic devices and can also be part of a live performance. Wikipedia

11. Who are we teaching? A. The students who are truly self-motivated. B. The students who go through the motions. C. The students who “tune us out.” The motto of this group? “ Engage me or Enrage me”

13. The Continuum of Engagement /--------------------------------------------------/ “ A” “B” “C” A. Self-motivated students B. Students who ‘play school’ C. Students who tune us out Thanks - and credit - to Marc Prensky, Educause Review, Sept/Oct. 2005, Volume 40, Number 5

14. What is Cognitive Theory in Multi Media Learning? Professor Richard Mayer has shown learners are better able to transfer their learning given multimodal instruction Wikipedia

15. What is multi media learning and how can it foster learning? 1. Modality principle: +

17. Students learn better from animation and narration than from animation, narration, and on-screen text“ (Mayer, 2001,p.184) 2.The Redundancy Principle Limited Capacity Assumption

18. Where do your eyes focus during this? To Show Geometrically That (a + b) 2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2 (a + b) 2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2 We are going to show geometrically that (a+b) 2 = a 2 +2ab + b 2 The area of the first piece is a 2 Split your square into four pieces The area of the third piece is also ab The last piece is b 2 Let’s start off with a square with side a +b The area of the second piece is ab a + b a + b a 2 ab ab b 2

19. Use few words to summarise than many extraneous words and pictures. 3. Active Processing Assumption Coherent summary

20. Multi Media Richard Mayer defines multimedia as any environment where material is presented in more than one format + + + +

22. How?

23. Today’s Multi Media Power point Incorporating animation, sound and interactivity Video- recording, editing and streaming, student centred learning for engagement

26. 1. Basic Functions Pen, writing, view slide show, saving annotations- saving students’ solutions .

28. Flash Once You can make any object to appear to be moving using this custom animation option Here you entrance flash once. Subsequent moons must start after previous.

29. The area of a parallelogram = the area of a rectangle on the same base. Area = base x height Area = base x height base height base height  Area of a Parallelogram

30. Motion Paths You can set any object on a motion path! Such as a person walking across the Bridges of Konigsburg

31. O H E X G N A

32. Wiping chocolate milk 1) Draw cylinder container- unfill object 2) Draw second cylinder keep the filled colour 3) Select second cylinder and choose custom animation entrance-wipe

33. 3. Sound

34. Video Streaming Student led projects

35. The Pi Project

36. The Quotient Rule Song “ The Quotient rule is driving me crazy The rule is simple Just remember, remember Low dee hi, hi dee low and draw the line to square below You can easily solve this”

37. The Quotient Rule Song

38. Sine Rule Song (Imagine) “ Imagine there’s no sine rule Its easy if you try No a over Sin A No b over Sin B No c over Sin C This is the Sine Rule Yooo hoo Find a missing angle Or a missing side Of a triangle With the Sine Rule”

39. The Sine Rule Song

40. Students Teaching? We remember: 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we see and hear 70% of what we discuss 80% of what we experience personally 90% of what we teach others

42. Chi Squared

43. SOHCAHTOA

44. How do I integrate multi media in my classroom? 3

45. Start your own Youtube account Tape your learning activity Edit your footage The Practical

46. Embedding Video onto your Learning Platform

47. Downloading and capturing video in your PowerPoint www.catchvideo.net

49. I hope you feel inspired to join me on the journey from being a digital immigrant and using minimal multi media in the classroom to adopting and utilising the resources available to fully integrate multi media into the mathematics classroom to enhance the learning for the digital natives. We have responsibility to engage not enrage our Digital Natives , Generation M our E generation … Thank you
