Basic introduction. It should cover at least:

Great write up. Is this intended to be viewed by the students, the instructor or both?

Zanarama commented 11 years ago

This is intended to be written for instructors. This one will probably include tips to teaching the lessons and maybe outside resources that students may not have access to on a normal school day. Though I could adapt it and make a student version as well.

Gotcha. What kind of format do you think would be best for this? 'Hand out', power point, website, youtube video? Who is our target teacher? If we want to capture 100% of teachers we might want to break this into two parts (super simple intro to math and computers, and then what you have above). My concern is that if you have a 20 year English teacher trying to each this course, they may need additional materials to support themselves in coming up to speed - where a 5 year math teach may not. Thoughts?
