Tammy Moore replied to Steve Hargadon's discussion Welcome and Introduction!"Welcome Margaret. I hope your virtual open house went well. I bet the reluctance to switch is because resources have been designed to fit the other suite and the learning curve when you are busy can be daunting for any new software. I bet once they…"

If you go to my profile page here at We Collaborate you will see a Drop Box embed. If you follow the chemistry folders you may find some of the resources I have used with Collaborate to be useful. I have…"
Tammy Moore replied to Steve Hargadon's discussion Welcome and Introduction!"Welcome Scott. Teaching in the online classroom environment is quite addictive. You will love it. Do you happen to teach any C++ programming. My 17 year old son has been teaching himself but he says the texts are as dry as the desert with snippets…"
Tammy Moore replied to Joan Strachan's discussion The best tools for teaching an on-line class"Sound -
I have really liked the Logitech USB H530 headset. My cheaper level of Logitech was pretty nice, but you could see that there was noise when I was not speaking coming through. This one has excellent sound cancellation for background noises…"
Tammy Moore replied to Lorie Moffat's discussion Collaborate Tips"Hmmm, it used to be that when you want to get a shot from Collaborate itself, you need to look for the little toggle box in the screenshot window that pops up that will set Collaborate not to minimize. The version released last summer seems to have…"

Tammy Moore commented on IFTIKHAR HUSAIN's group High School Math"OK, a wbd version of your manipulative set is ready to go. I have a credit byline on the page acknowledging that the idea originated from your movie, Iftikhar. :0)
It is located in my Box on my member page in the Mathematics folder under geometry."
Tammy Moore commented on IFTIKHAR HUSAIN's group High School Math"The file downloaded and played fine using my media player. You can embed the BOX into your member page here to keep it publicly available, just like the LC portfolio.
Great video. :0) I think the pieces could be made into puzzle-like pieces…"
Tammy Moore commented on IFTIKHAR HUSAIN's group High School Math"You can sign up for a free box at https://support.box.net/home. Make folders to stay organized and upload the files you want to share. There is a mb limit per file on free avvounts. I think it was 25 or 50 mb. It should be sufficient for most things…"
Tammy Moore commented on IFTIKHAR HUSAIN's group High School Math"I have played around with the Box file sharing tool. If you ever have any files to share, it seems to be a really nice way to go about it. You can upload your files and then embed the Box repository widget into the html tool on your profile here.…"
Tammy Moore commented on IFTIKHAR HUSAIN's group High School Math"It sounds like you have an interesting idea going, Iftikhar. Do you have some material already worked up for teaching math visually? I am teaching algebra 1 this year and your group topic would be interesting to learn more about."

High School Math
Visual Math makes the job of Math Educators Globally much easier than teaching traditionally. Teaching math is not just the calculation, it application is the most important part in the learning process, which is possible if its concepts are understood. Making math visual helps the learner understanding the concepts of all grade level.How to make math visual?See More

However, combining what you have asked here with what you have posted elsewhere, I thought I would jump in and help you…"

- More About Me
- Though by background is illustration and portraiture (watercolor, pencil, and digital) I have found myself using those skills more in teaching since I became involved in VHSG. My primary teaching subjects are Biology and Chemistry, but I have also developed and taught courses in elementary math, algebra, and advanced math; a unit study curriculum blending history (fall of Rome through Adam's admin.), literature, art, and music; a combination lit analysis and writing curriculum, One of my favorite tasks is building interactive wbd slides, wbd bio and chem-mysteries, and creating Adbobe Flash interactive activities.
