Over the last 3 months I have been working with The Hampshire Educational Collaborative [HEC] developing a new Online Algebra course geared towards high school students looking to recover credit for Algebra. This is a pilot program, we are currently working with Western Massachusetts School Districts to test this course.
This is not the Algebra I remember, in fact had I had this type of interactivity available when I was learning Algebra, I firmly believe I would now remember more of my Algebra. It is amazing how the Algebra is presented….and all online.
I also worked on creating an eLearning Coaches online course, whereas learning coaches [some of whom are Algebra teachers, some specialist teachers-all of whom have enormous amounts of patience] were taught [and refreshed] in learning skills. To assist the Algebra students in learning approaches to studying, problem-solving and sometimes basic time management skills. All fabulous skills & habits for the 21st Century.
Additionally, I maintain a blog which is where I also lodge other pertinent research.
