The ZoomSense project was started on 19 April 2020 as a response to our experiences of using Zoom for teaching.
A few people from the Faculty of IT at Monash University (and friends) got together to see if we could visualize what was happening in Zoom breakout rooms.
We are looking for help in developing this open source tool. So whether you're an academic, educator or developer, we'd love to loop you in!
There is now a thriving community around ZoomSense, where developers are using it as an infrastructure to rapidly develop augmentations to Zoom for teaching, media production and much more!
If you are a developer, head over to our GitLab documentation to get started.
Most institutions say they value teaching. But how they assess it tells a different story. University of Southern California has stopped using student evaluations of teaching in promotion decisions in favor of peer-review model. Oregon seeks to end quantitative evaluations of teaching for holistic model.
Scientists have identified the part of the brain that teachers use to detect when their pupils do not understand what they are being taught.
Researchers found that a brain region called the anterior cingulate cortex picks up how mistaken students are.
They say their findings provide significant insight into the brain processes that allow a teacher to understand a student's learning.
They also found that other regions of the frontal lobe play important roles.
Designer Emily Pilloton moved to rural Bertie County, in North Carolina, to engage in a bold experiment of design-led community transformation. She's teaching a design-build class called Studio H that engages high schoolers' minds and bodies while bringing smart design and new opportunities to the poorest county in the state.
Welcome to the world of evidence! Evidence-based teaching is effective teaching, and we bring you the most effective methods. Read on to find out more.
עם פרוץ מגפת הקורונה, לשכת המדען הראשי יזמה והקימה חמש קבוצות עבודה שמטרתן הייתה להבין את האתגרים עמם מתמודדים צוותי ההוראה בהקשר של למידה מקוונת ולסייע בידם בהתמודדות זו באמצעות גיבוש עקרונות והמלצות מבוססי מחקר.
אל קבוצות העבודה הוזמנו חוקרים שמומחיותם רלוונטית למשימה ושיש באפשרותם לסייע בגיבוש מתווה פעולה בהיבטים שונים. הקבוצות עסקו בסוגיות פדגוגיות, רגשיות, חברתיות ומקצועיות שעולות במסגרת הלמידה המקוונת. האתר מאגד את מסקנותיהן של קבוצות העבודה בצורה אינטראקטיבית ונגישה לקריאה.
Jorum is a free online repository service for teaching and support staff in UK Further and Higher Education Institutions, helping to build a community for the sharing, reuse and repurposing of learning and teaching materials.
The Association exists to bring about improvements in the teaching of mathematics and its applications, and to provide a means of communication among students and teachers of mathematics. Its work is carried out through its Council and committees.
GeoGebra is dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that joins arithmetic, geometry, algebra and calculus. On the one hand, GeoGebra is an interactive geometry system. You can do constructions with points, vectors, segments, lines, conic sections as well as functions and change them dynamically afterwards. On the other hand, equations and coordinates can be entered directly. Thus, GeoGebra has the ability to deal with variables for numbers, vectors and points, finds derivatives and integrals of functions and offers commands like Root or Extremum. These two views are characteristic of GeoGebra: an expression in the algebra view corresponds to an object in the graphics view and vice versa.
Paul A. Kirschner & Mirjam Neelen Robert Pondiscio, Senior Fellow and Vice President for External Affairs at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute in the US, recently published a blog (overall worth a visit!) in which he called direct instruction the Rodney Dangerfield of curricula. Rodney Dangerfield was an American comedian who constantly complained that he…
Get inspiration for your own teaching by getting to know tried and tested teaching-learning scenarios from other teachers!
Find patterns that are specific to your teaching context by searching or using the filters.
Benefit from proven practical knowledge: Each pattern is systematically structured and has gone through a review process.
הוראה איכותית מתאפיינת בכך שהיא מושתתת על מתן מענה אישי לכל תלמיד ותלמידה, מומחיות בתחום התוכן ובדרכי ההוראה וניהול כיתה. כל זה נעשה לצד חתירה מתמדת של המורה ללמוד ולהתפתח מקצועית
Language schools: elevate your curriculum, empower your teachers, and deliver immersive lessons with the power of VR English language teaching from Immerse.
Mastering the complexity of teaching takes time and requires a lot of practice and sustained effort. Observing and reflecting about actual lessons can play a critical role in the journey to becoming a proficient teacher. It provides a direct window into the classroom, from which practitioners can analyse and reflect about teaching in order to hone their craft.

… it is much of a challenge to demonstrate that functions, modelling, and problem solving are all types of generalizing activities, that algebra and indeed all of mathematics is about generalizing patterns.
p 103
The history of the science of algebra is the story of the growth of a technique for representing of finite patterns.
The notion of the importance of pattern is as old as civilization. Every art is founded on the study of patterns.
Mathematics is the most powerful technique for the understanding of pattern, and for the analysis of the relationships of patterns.(1996)
