DESCRIPTION

Slides from a presentation at the Building Learning Communities Conference in Boston, MA. 29 July 2011. (A major redefinition of an earlier presentation: Design Matters!). A practical exploration of the intersection between visual design, presentation design and instructional design. Every day, several times a day, teachers everywhere are called upon to educate, entertain, elucidate, enlighten and maintain attention and amongst their students. With the advent of interactive white boards and/or video projectors in classrooms everywhere, the intersection of these skills is fast becoming a centrepiece of an educators toolkit. This workshop will model and illustrate concrete ways in which teachers can incorporate these skills into their pedagogical practice.

A Pedagogical Framework

x=

Teachers must engage studentsʼ preconceptions

(Principle 1) Studentsʼ Errors and Misconceptions Based on Previous Learning

Students come to the classroom with conceptions of numbers grounded in their whole-number learning that lead them astray in the world of rational numbers; e.g. multiplying always makes numbers bigger.

Understanding requires factual knowledgeand conceptual frameworks
