Hermann. Notes on my working life.
From the 5.0 Manual of Geogebra: It’s actually enough to provide a single list to Zip[]. This makes it a shorter alternative to Sequence[] when all you want is to traverse a list. For example, Zip[a^2, a, listOfNumbers] is much shorter than Sequence[Element[listOfNumbers, […]
When solving textbook examples often many styles of coding are possible. As everywhere some principles which are useful when programming have been proven very useful as best practice: Never copy results manually to progress with the calculation. Never. Don’t even […]
Mirroring mobile screen to the Whiteboard This obviously has to be done next. As my students mobiles (see part 1) have both Android and iOS devices a solution has to support both (so a Miracast or Apple TV Box is […]
This term one of my classes (starting higher general secondary school with 14/15 year old students) is a class equipped just with one pc and a beamer. No laptops and perhaps only sometimes the possibility to use a computer lab. […]
Geogebra has evolved from a (very nice) dynamic geometry software to a full blown CAS-program since the integration of Giac which began in 2013 and is an ongoing process. Having used Maxima for a long time (and using Mathematica professionally) this approach […]
Mahara is the portfolio-software used in conjunction with moodle. Some works of my pupils can be seen here: Working with German literature: 11th grade, 12th grade Presenting solutions to Math problems: 12th grade – geogebra
Mobile devices offer a magnificent set of capabilities to use with studying physics — and this can be done with freely available software tools. Since five years I am using MIT AppInventor teaching programming courses for beginners and using it […]
Applying my educational background (Master in Mathematics, German Literature, Ph.D. in Applied Physics) and my professional experience gives various possibilities to do cross curricular teaching. Our school hosts a special type of secondary school with main emphasis on technology and engineering – […]
Here are some more results from my survey — setup and details see part 1. Please keep in mind that three different groups (which are rather small) have been asked – with different education level (9-11) and taught different subjects. The […]
Working in laptop classes with Software can be a difficult task for both teacher and the students. The students have to look at their laptops, their textbooks, maybe their handwritten journals and – sometimes most important – the whiteboard. This […]
