I was ready for a break from it 2 years ago, and it was nice teaching the "little kiddies", but the topics of precal are so fun.Shireen Dadmehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282965851939089408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-82563765674376824232011-06-09T23:33:48.078-05:002011-06-09T23:33:48.078-05:00I'm being totally selfish here, but I'm ha...I'm being totally selfish here, but I'm happy that you mentioned precalculus! You have such great ideas and I love reading your blog, but I've missed your precalculus tips. :) Welcome back!KFousshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493982153040173831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-60789334723369479812011-06-09T19:58:29.609-05:002011-06-09T19:58:29.609-05:00Jacki: thanks for the tip.

Woot!<br /><br />Mrs. S: you're right about the vacation issue. I like the "suggested time frame" idea and the take until you master idea ... more kernels for my brain to process.Shireen Dadmehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282965851939089408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-84003218239851483212011-06-09T11:30:36.581-05:002011-06-09T11:30:36.581-05:00The trouble with online and semi-weekly due dates ...The trouble with online and semi-weekly due dates is that kids go on vacation. I don't know about your population, but a lot of my kids are going to visit family for the summer (often times out of the country, with sketchy internet access). I don't think online is necessarily bad, but I'm not sure they can be held accountable for deadlines through that medium. A calendar of "suggested due dates" might work, but if Johnny leaves in June for 2 months in Central America, he's only going to have August to work on the packet.<br /><br />We did give online quizzes (5 questions) to our students this year. They were unlimited retake. You'd answer the 5 questions, and it would give you a score (3/5) but not tell you which ones you missed. Students were required to re-do them until they had at least 4/5. We had a district mandated software to use, but I'm sure something similar exists online. We counted these as quiz grades.Mrs. Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589168986019782681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-14351037774287316492011-06-09T11:13:46.652-05:002011-06-09T11:13:46.652-05:00You could maybe do this using the Khan academy.

It's been a while since I've looked at it, but I think that you can sign up as a coach and have your kids sign up under you and track their progress. They've got pretty neat little online quizzes also.Jackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492980193488427878noreply@blogger.com
