Reflection for Math/Teachers

I've always felt that I was strongest at Math and Algebra in high school and even in what I have taken in college.  This class on the other hand I need CLARITY.  The student being confused is an understatement.  I've always thought of math/algebra being cut and dry but this is a whole new level for me.  In my group one of the questions was, What pieces of the problem make sense to you and which parts are confusing? At first most makes since but then doubt starts coming into play.  I can second guess myself all day.  Reading a problem as a whole seems to make sense but once I try to figure out the answer and break the problem down into pieces then I start confusing myself.  I do feel that the way we have been breaking into groups is reassuring because I am not alone.  All that can be done is keep showing up and stay positive!

Mobile Learning UsingPodcast

Technology today is used in many different aspects of our lives.  One of those aspects is in how we learn.  Most people have or have access to mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones.  By receiving information to learn from, on these kinds of devices, would be what is considered mobile learning.  Another way to learn is from a podcast.  This is episodes of audio or video recordings of a program, lecture, or performance that is available on the internet.  Podcast have major advantages in that they allow educators to interact with students on a level that can be more engaging and  allow for more engaging content. Educators that are using this type of technology are improving overall student/teacher relationships by breaking down barriers between the learner and lecturer.  To begin this process of podcasting, first you would want to know who your wanting to aim this information to and  how it will be able to be received, if at all.  As I said most people have or can get this kind of technology but you want to be 100% sure that all students or colleagues will get the message.

I'm kind of confused but I think I will be able to follow this class.
