Available Courses

• Teaching Math with Technology (AMATYC)

  Interactive online seminar (“webinar”) hosted jointly by Muskegon Community College and Corning Community College during the week of July 19-23, 2010. The program is designed to help community college mathematics instructors learn how to use new technologies to enhance their teaching of mathematics in the traditional classroom, online, and hybrid environments. The program is designed for those with little technology experience, although experienced instructors are also welcome. Participants will experience an online learning environment firsthand and enhance their appreciation for the role technology can play in teaching and learning. By the end of the program, each participant will develop a plan for incorporating technology in a specific course (with feedback from other course participants) and complete a short-term project to further their goals.

• Presentations in the Digital Age

  

  You know how to use Power Point or Keynote, but have you learned how to create an engaging presentation? There are ways to make Power Point presentations engaging and effective. We'll start with good digital design principles for the standard "deck of slides" presentation and move on to creating other types of presentations (e.g. screen casts and webinars). You should plan to bring at least one presentation you would like to design ( or redesign) for this 3-week session.
  

  • Non-digital design
    
  • General digital design principles
  • How to find the perfect (CC) image
    
  • Non-Linear slide presentations (Action Buttons & Menus)
    
  • Dump the slides altogether: Mindomo & Prezi
    
  • Engaging a webinar audience
    
  • Screencasts and recorded videos (Jing, Animoto, ...)
    
• Calculus Wars Reading Group

    

  This is a learning community for those that want to read the book The Calculus Wars, by Jason Socrates Bardi and have some social discussion. Not only can we discuss the concepts in the book, but also how we might incorporate the historical perspective into what we learn into our math courses.
