Each presentation of the use of Mathlets in the different contexts is followed by the instructor\u2019s thoughts, experiences, and recommendations regarding the use of Mathlets within that context. To give the participant practice at\u00a0integrating the Mathlet technology into his or her own teaching this course includes questions, exercises to be used in your own course, as well as activities at the end of each module. The short course ends with a wrap up<\/a>, and takes another look at the resources available at the\u00a0Mathlets website<\/a>, and a listing of the\u00a0Virtues of the Mathlets<\/em>\u00a0that\u00a0have been illustrated along the way.<\/p>\n These materials are Copyright © 2013, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and unless otherwise specified are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported<\/a> license.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nThis self-paced short course by Professor Haynes R. Miller, Ph.D. focuses on the use of technology in mathematics education\u00a0at the university level. The course begins with an introduction<\/a> and then explores the\u00a0MIT Mathlets collection by providing examples of Mathlet use in three different contexts.<\/p>\n\n
\nThis module contains two examples of the use of the MIT Mathlets in lecture. The first illustrates the artistic and dynamic character of the Mathlets. The second and more interactive example shows how formulas can be brought to life using the Mathlets in lecture. Each segment is followed by questions, my remarks about the lecture fragments and the features of the Mathlets, and examples that illuminate their use.\u00a0At the end there are a couple of exercises.<\/li>\n
\nThe first segment of this module contains an example of the use of a Mathlet to organize group work by students in a lecture setting. The second provides several samples of what you can ask groups of students to do using the Mathlets, inside or outside a classroom. Each segment is followed by questions, and my remarks about the lecture fragments and the features of the Mathlets, and examples that demonstrate their use. At the end there are a couple of exercises.<\/li>\n
\nThe segments of this module consists of sample homework assignments created around one or another of the MIT Mathlets.\u00a0They are followed by questions, and my remarks about the features of the Mathlets, and examples that illuminate their use.\u00a0At the end there are a couple of exercises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
