I had given a mini-ISU geometry assignment to my gr 9 math class and wanted to show them how the Pythagorean Theorem should be solved. Since they should have learned this concept in gr. 8, I do not intend to spend a lot of time on it so I decided to create a short Doceri video. It took about 20 mins (mostly because I was experimenting with the Doceri App) and found it was an easier task than I initially thought. A couple of days ago, I taught my students how to find the point of intersection between two linear equations and how to use that point to make recommendations between two stores or options. I gave each pair of students a unique problem to solve and asked them to present their solutions using Doceri. They were given limited class time to do their presentation since we were preparing for our unit test. The first group did a great job! I gave minimal assistance and they just knew what to do. The two girls created their presentation which included a table, graph, and an audio explanation in a short period of class time. With their iPads in hand and Apple TV activated, the students successfully showed their Doceri video to the class from the comfort of their desks. The rest of the class will be presenting their work tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing what the other students can do. This is something I would like to do in the next unit.
