Working the Math Processes Through BYOD – Part 1

In this session series, participants investigate a variety of tools that can be used to support the math processes in a BYOD environment. BYOD environments pose challenges in choosing tools that work on all or many types of devices for little or no cost. This session is a collaboration centred around high-yield digital tools for BYOD. Please take a moment to explore Jaclyn’s Math BYOD wiki. and her related TeachOntario Math Processes collaboration and support page (account required – see resources below).

Digital tools that may be addressed include:
  • Session 1 (ClassFlow, Padlet, OneNote Class Notebook, Kahoot)
  • Session 2 (PearDeck, Edmodo, GSP, Desmos, virtual manipulative, image annotating, socrative)
  • Session 3 (NearPod, Dan Meyer Problems, Educreations, Google Drive with equation editor and g(math) add-on 3D design, printing and thinking)

Dates and titles for all sessions in this series are listed below.

NOTE: Participants are not required to attend all three sessions.
