What's NewThis entire site is new and I am very excited about having, for the first time, a site that is my own.
There are two major features of this site that I would like to draw to your attention. First of all you will have noticed the Integration icon on my home page. Please go to that link. Everything at the Integration link represents work that I have engaged in with my colleagues, Nancy Browne, Elizabeth Cooper (both in the Faculty of Education) and Harley Weston (from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Regina.) We have tried to organize our integration work into categories that best fit the type of integration. We have conducted research in this field, taught classes together in integrated ways, planned and implemented integration experiences for preservice teachers and for school children, and we have written about and presented on this work locally, nationally, and internationally. We feel we have a solid foundation in this field and we would like to share what we have learned with colleagues around the world. We would also welcome your input and feedback. So please e-mail us with your ideas.
The second feature of my site that I would like to draw to your attention is the link to my courses. In the Fall of 2003 I will be teaching my first totally online class--one of a series of graduate Education classes in Information and Communictaion Technology. This website will provide anyone with an overview of the content blocks for this class. The students who are registered in this class in the Fall 2003 semester will be able to read the entire content of each block with password access. In addition to this site for content storage, the students will also participate in a parallel WebCT EC&I 832 course which will house the Discussions Forum, Chat Rooms, Calendar, and Private Mail (among other WebCT features). Also, the students and I will participate in WebTrain--an interactive synchronous two-way audio and video experience.
There is also a link to the Mathematics Education homepage. This page, which is shared by all faculty teaching in the Mathematics Education subject area, is housed on our Education server. My major responsibility with the Mathed site is to create the links on the homepage and to take care of all work related to Elementary Mathematics Education. The Secondary Mathematics Education classes and links are the responsibility of Dr. Rick Seaman, the Secondary Mathematics specialist.
