You just have to figure out how to get them to me! I have uploaded screen-casts over 2 hours long, so I don't think I would have a problem uploading your videos!<br /><br />Good Job,<br />A.

What I am finding as an important criteria in judging busy work in the context of teaching is to ask yourself "What did the student learn?" Your student's project brings up another important criteria, "How well did the student express what they already have already learned?" Don't get me wrong, I am not denouncing busy work, it has a place, but many teachers don't understand its relationship to learning and go astray. Creativity does not imply learning. Often it just implies creativity. You have to remember that the goal is learning and judge your use of creativity in that context.<br /><br />I think everyone here would agree that your student deserves an A, nice job.Robert Hansenhttp://mathforum.org/kb/forum.jspa?forumID=206&start=0noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413213147692532190.post-56607054923787650292011-04-15T16:25:47.072-06:002011-04-15T16:25:47.072-06:00Wow, that's a nice project.

It may be more the fact that getting excited about math is not perceived as cool. I prefer that to the idea that students are just so trained to do what they told? Wonder what would happen if students were asked to do this before covering the concepts in class? Have you tried that in calculus before? Thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
