Teaching (Math) With Manipulatives K-5 DVD, plus 184 Math Activities ON-Line by Sam Yulish PhD, is timeless. This work was originally made in 1994 as a VHS video, and it was used by over 100 colleges and universities in their math teacher training sessions. Schools all over the country have used this video, now a DVD, and some used it in teleconferencing. The DVD is not visually sharp, as it was made from the last video tape. So it looks ore like an old video than a DVD. Still, worth its weight in gold. Numerous manipulatives are presented, with over 15 different lessons on how to best use the manipulatives in elementary school settings. These lessons are clear and concise. Dr. Yulish has over 25 years teaching experience, with six of those years as a K-8 Math Teacher Trainer at Ohio State University in Newark, Ohio. He has conducted workshops for teachers through the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and individual school systems, and has designed numerous teaching materials used by thousands of teachers. Lessons include base ten blocks, fraction bars, two-sided counters, the Invicta Balance, wooden cubes, geoboards, tangrams, pattern blocks, and more. There is nothing fancy here. Just plain language instuctions from an expert on how to best use manipulatives. Included with the DVD: 184 MATH PROBLEM SOLVING ACTIVITIES (GRADES K-8) Used by thousands of students. The lessons are in the following categories: GEOMETRY NUMBER BRAINSTORMS CONNECTIONS MEASUREMENT AND ESTIMATION GAMES PATTERNS AND ATTRIBUTES PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS |
The internet has given us many gifts throughout the years – from music and video game codes to not so G-rated material. Therefore, it is no surprise that e-learning has made such a big splash in the web world. Within the past ten years, online education and internet training has provided many people with a new incentive to learn.
During the early 80Â’s, e-training was just starting to become a potential creation. Companies and educational institutes were strictly hiring instructors to train their students. This was because computers were only beginning to grow, therefore making it difficult to come up with any other plan. These instructors were great at the time because it allowed training to be very hands on, especially since students were able to interact with their classmates and visually see the lessons. However, the problem with having just instructors was that there was a lot of blank time in between. Students were not being able to learn the material on their own time, thus difficulty set in when training with hoards of other people.
Luckily, as the computer industry started to expand, e-training was becoming a reality. For the next ten years, multimedia was at everyoneÂ’s fingertips. Companies were just starting to use PowerPoint; a program that allowed people to create visually enhanced presentations. Video games and other multimedia programs were also popping up, thus resulting in a technology overhaul. As these advances continued, online education was only a step away.
The first type of online education was in the mid 1990Â’s. This was when the internet was a great success, and multimedia was being taken to another level. The first few e-training companies dedicated their services to mainly businesses who did not want to hire trainers. Although the online education courses were great for new employees who needed training, it was only the beginning of an uphill process. Education online was very slow, as pictures were small and the entire course was text based. Nevertheless, it was beginning to catch the eye of many.
As the 1990Â’s quickly ended, the millennium marked an entirely new period for technology. E-learning was finally on the map as online education courses were now very popular at colleges and businesses. Great streaming media, online video access, and fast web site servers made it possible for online education to make quite a splash. Students were also now able to learn from their homes during their own time, since working a job and going to school was quite a difficult task.
Today, online education has come a long way. Instructors are now being hired to solely teach online, which usually consists of being filmed for lesson videos. Companies are also hiring these online education programs, since a training session can not only be quick, but also be accessed at any time of the day or night. For many, it is a great opportunity because it gives us all more knowledge. We not only are able to get college degrees through this type of e-learning, but we also can have a life, without having to stay at the office overnight just to learn some material.
