Ok, here's my one minute movie. I actually choose a tool that I hadn't reviewed in my previous web2.0 posts, but was a tool I had been researching, reviewing and looking into for my CBR project.
The tool I chose to review is actually part of a larger category of web2.0 tools called virtual manipulatives. Theyre interactive programs/software used for teaching and reinforcing mathematical lessons.
For this project, and for my CBR I've been looking into the Illuminations website of virtual manipulative tools. You can see the site here: Illuminations
My "commercial" is as much of a commercial for the idea of using virtual manipulatives as it is for the site/tool itself. I created with the idea of using this to pitch my project to administration.
I look forward to your feedback!

- Jessica Wunder
- I'm an instructor for the Computer, Science and Internet course at Full Sail University in Orlando, Fl. I'm taking the Education Media Design and Technology Masters so that I may expand my teaching repertoire and become a better instructor.
I wish they had this kind of stuff when I was a kid. When it came to math, I always needed concrete examples (still do). This seems just the way to help kids understand what they are actually learning.
ReplyDeleteI'm realizing that for some reasn, sometimes the last part of the video is cut off. This hasn't happened everytime i watch the video (I checked a few times to make sure it uploaded ok) but it does happen.

WOAH, we made many of the same choices when creating our movies lol. I guess great minds think alike!
