Core dynamic activities: lessons
These activities are the most complete, and are typically used by teachers.
They may contain just theory, or theory+exploration, when possible.
I usually consider the following features when designing such activities:
- Self consistent: the activity is independent from others, and doesn't need a textbook or further instructions to be used
- Ok for learning disabilities: concepts explained with keywords, and visualization
- Colour coded: objects and related static/dynamic texts have the same colour, when possible, to make association between objects and quantities straightforward
- Same definitions/letters/proofs used at school or in the textbook
- Great for reviewing and consolidating concepts at home, or even on the go
- A dynamic reference for homework or for home schooling - distance learning
- Can be used as handout reference for activities like flipped teaching
Exploration dynamic activities
- Easily implemented by students
- Multi-platform - phone and tablet (ggb apps)
- Great for exploring and consolidating concepts at home: students can use sw to reproduce and explore limit cases/counterexamples or generalize a concept
- Flipped classrom
Flipped classroom
- Teacher hands out sources / links / pdf / ppf / ggb
- Students start on a case study to derive from it a more general concept
