Here's an excited teacher. I couldn't here what he was saying, so I hope it isn't too corny. Please let me know what you think of Mr. Duey.
Gateway to Technology
Welcome to my blog via Gateway to Technology training. This training is held at UOG or Okkodo. This is a 15 hour training class and some of the students have a lot of personality. It covers 5 modules which are: text processing, spreadsheets, communication, digital publishing, and research resources.
Fractions are like the enemy to my students. Whenever I assign problems with fractions, they are generally ignored. I generally have to resort to analogies using food to help make fractions seem meaningful. I think using recipes is a way to help students become comfortable with multiplying and dividing fractions, and at the same time, become more familiar with common fractions, decimals and percentages.
