design (still) matters!
DESCRIPTION
Slides from a presentation at the Building Learning Communities Conference in Boston, MA. 29 July 2011. (A major redefinition of an earlier presentation: Design Matters!). A practical exploration of the intersection between visual design, presentation design and instructional design. Every day, several times a day, teachers everywhere are called upon to educate, entertain, elucidate, enlighten and maintain attention and amongst their students. With the advent of interactive white boards and/or video projectors in classrooms everywhere, the intersection of these skills is fast becoming a centrepiece of an educators toolkit. This workshop will model and illustrate concrete ways in which teachers can incorporate these skills into their pedagogical practice.TRANSCRIPT

Three (practices and) principles
Teachers must engage studentsʼ preconceptions
(Principle 1) Studentsʼ Errors and Misconceptions Based on Previous Learning
Students come to the classroom with conceptions of numbers grounded in their whole-number learning that lead them astray in the world of rational numbers; e.g. multiplying always makes numbers bigger.
