DELEGATES CHOOSE
ONE 'A' COURSE and ONE 'B' COURSE
All courses will cover basic IT skills as necessary,
and also the use of a Virtual Learning Environment.
STRAND A
Office tools for Maths (6 hrs)
A1 - Word 2007 and Tools for the Busy Teacher
The new Office 2007 interface: symbols, equations, diagrams; hyperlinks; embedding Autograph files.
Tools to make the life of the busy mathematics teacher more efficient and effective: Jing, FlashEarth, Java and Flash applets, YouTube videos, etc!
Led by Douglas Butler (and Craig Barton)
[TSM-resources]
A2 - Putting Excel to work (beginners/intermediate)
How to get started with Excel, creating sequences, graphs and charts,
filling down, formulae and text. Simple simulations.
Led by Karl Hayward-Bradley (and David Benjamin)
A3 - Excel for Statistics and Data Handling
Excel is a powerful and dynamic tool for investigating and demonstrating
mathematics and basic statistics.
Led by Sidney Tyrrell (and Christine Dickinson)
A4 - Excel for advanced users
This workshop will look at some of the advanced features of Excel and how they can be used to create interactive and dynamic resources for use in the classroom or for independent learning.
We will look at features such as conditional formatting, slider bars, buttons and option boxes, named and dynamic ranges and data validation as well as including an introduction to the Macro recorder and Visual Basic for Applications.
You can explore recording and using simple Macros or delve into more advanced examples. There will be plentiful examples and a chance to work on an idea of your own.
Led by Mike Hadden (and Peter Ashbourne)
A5 - Teaching with CAS (Computer Algebra)
Exploring TI Nspire - in software form for the PC and also in the handheld calculator form, to cover a wide range of secondary topics, with an emphasis on developing an intutitive feel for difficult topics, problem solving and investigative work to challenge gifted students.
Led by Martin Withington (and Mike Wakeford)
A6 - Autograph 3.2 in
