Reflection on Field Study Idea
A possible idea that I am wrestling with for my field study is: How does the use of student created interactive math tutorials affect student achievement in numeracy?
This idea came up from the fact that our school has now stated numeracy as a school goal. Being in a school that is 85% ESL or have an ESL background, I wanted to do something that would make math make sense. I remember a lecture that Alan November had at SFU Surrey last Spring and he showed some tutorials that students created. I remember thinking to myself, “that is the coolest math lesson ever.” I believe he used Jing or Screencast, but I will be exploring these over the next few weeks.
Anyways, its an idea and if you have any advice, comments or resources, your just a click away.
