This stands for Stand-Alone Instructional Resource. This is a resource that a student could use to learn a topic completely independently. It teaches the topic, includes independent practice, and feedback. When asked to do this I wanted to make this for something that could be used within my classroom. I chose to complete a resource for the Pythagorean Theorem. This is a standard that is necessary for all seventh grade students. I will be able to use this to differentiate this in both my Math 7 and Pre-Algebra class. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=716768 This Flash slideshow introduces social network analysis as it is applied to socio-technical spaces / electronic social networks. This culls some of the main approaches to analyzing social networks. Then, it introduces the use of the freeware tool NodeXL, which is an add-in to later versions of Microsoft Excel. This tool enables the extraction of social network data from various sites' APIs (Twitter, Facebook, Flickr,YouTube, and others), the computation of graph metrics, and then a half-dozen node-link visualizations from the data. This tool was created under the auspices of the Social Media Research Foundation (SMRF) and distributed on Microsoft's CodePlex. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=714857 A StAIR or Stand-Alone Instructional Resource is a resource designed to help teach certain objectives without an instructor being present. This means that students can learn by accessing a StAIR at home or some other place where a teacher is not present. This StAIR focuses on teaching students the basic details about equivalent fractions. If your school uses the Common Core State Standards, this StAIR focuses on the following objective:4.NF.1 – Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n x a)/(n x b) by using visualfraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even thoughthe two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generateequivalent fractions. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=714364 This Stand Alone Instructional Resource is meant to help kindergarten and first graders learn the basic strategies for addition... using a tens frame and counting on. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=714149 Interactive Stand-Alone Instructional Resource used to help teach two basic addition strategies to kindergarten or first grade students (using a tens frame and counting). http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=705116 הקורס "משחקים חוזרים" במסגרת הנושא "התמחות בחקר הרציונאליות״. הועבר באוניברסיטה העברית על ידי פרופ' ישראל אומן, זוכה פרס הנובל לשנת 2005. ניתן לצפות ב 13 הרצאות הקורס שצולמו והוקלטו. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=703694 Visually searchable database of algebra 1 videos.

Host Jason Marshall provides clear explanations of math terms and principles, and his simple tricks for solving basic algebra problems will have even the most mathphobic people looking forward to working out whatever math problem comes their way. If you're getting ready to take the SAT, GRE, or any of the other standardized tests; or if you're going back to school and need to brush up on the basics, the Math Dude's Quick and Dirty Tips to Make Math Easier will strengthen your fundamental skills, help you better understand the language of math, and succeed when it comes to taking a test. And if you just want to calculate the tip without using your iPhone and impress all your friends, his tips and tricks are for you too.'According to one user, 'I find this series very useful for students who need a different way to think about Math. The visual that is described and repetition of examples during the podcast are extremely helpful and go beyond memorization.' http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=671430 The Michigan Education through Learning Objects (MELO) project is a cross-disciplinary collaborative effort that has worked over the past three years to facilitate the integration of curriculum-based sequences of online learning objects (LOs) that complement classroom pedagogy in large enrollment gateway courses. MELO's goal is to enhance student learning, engagement, and persistence in college through the use of these learning objects. The materials represented in this collection are from the third year (MELO 3D) of the project. This award-winning project takes a unique approach to overcoming barriers to technology-enriched instruction by involving students (undergraduate and graduate) in addition to select faculty and staff from across different disciplines as key collaborators. By training select students and faculty to find, evaluate, adapt, create, and integrate LOs, the project facilitates the incorporation of high quality interdisciplinary and discipline-specific LOs into the curricula.The Open.Michigan collection serves as a central repository for materials created in association with the Michigan Education through Learning Objects project. The Materials tab contains training materials from the start of the projects, learning objects, survey instruments and conference abstracts from the project.
