Technology Use In My Classroom

All my lessons are filmed and posted to my YouTube channel. This allows students to access the material if they're absent or just need to review how to work practice problems. There are also closed captions which can be translated into home languages for multi-language learners. Practice problems are broken down to explain each math concept needed to solve the problems, how to read the questions, and include highlighting, color coding, and diagraming to ensure students understand where new numbers are coming from in each step of a problem.

We use Prisms virtual reality headsets to supplement our curriculum. The modules on the headsets allow students to experience the mathematical concepts we learn in class as 360 degree interactive storylines that show real-world examples. Students manipulate items in the games and cause changes to the equations and their solutions, gaining a better understanding of where the numbers are coming from and what they represent in the physical world. For multi-language learners, the headsets provide text and audio in 9 languages so they can access the math content without a language barrier getting in the way.
