Any user with a willingness to be involved in this community can create pages, publish material, or improve existing articles on a more or less equal footing. The result is still in it's infancy, but the ultimate goal is to produce a site where students, staff, and faculty can post information relevant to their work with LCC. User pages can contain personal profiles or detailed resumes/CVs. The class pages can contain most of the information currently on Moodle with a more versatile structure. Students can post, collaborate, and revise material linking it to a user profile and an assignment page. Academic papers can be written in a more vocationally relevant form (i.e. wikitext with diligent internal and external linking to provide source information). Most excitingly, this format provides the opportunity for realistic and practical group collaborative projects wherein all work modifies a single text and all contribution can be easily traced back to an individual contributor. No more riding the coattails or getting stuck with the bag in a group project. All that it needs now is your input, so please, explore, publish, revise, contribute, create. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=704361 This stand-alone instructional resource begins with reviewing trigonometric ratios and generates the unit circle and graph of the sine function. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=677887 'This is a fantastic scientific-based calculator that is available only on the web. It’s simple to use, easy to understand, and functions like nobody’s business. The site itself offers the code for the widget version of this app to put on your own sites (if you so desire), and besides that, there are a few forums for you to participate, and talk about math and stuff. There is also a link to a forumulary area.' http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=673565 Students recognize patterns in place-value, show the standard form of a 5-digit number, write the number in expanded form and word form, and apply their knowledge and evaluated for accuracy using individual white boards. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=641835 This is an activity to teach third-fifth grade students learn how to conduct a survey and create a double bar graph on their own. They will also input their information into a computer program that will generate a graph. They will use a tally table for their survey. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=595548 This is a lesson plan following the Instructional Design Template. It allows students the opportunity to explore the ideas and concepts of area, using their classroom dimensions as a real world experiment. Additionally, students view a short online video reiterating the content. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=554351 This is a stand-alone instructional resource for use in an elementary classroom (grades 3-5). It reviews decimal and whole number place value. The presentation requires input from the learner and provides feedbak based on this input. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=506792 דף מידע בנושא התמרת או פירוק פוריה: פירוק של פונקציה כלשהי, לרכיבים מחזוריים שלה. מכיל יישומון המדגים כיצד ניתן להרכיב פונקציה כללית מאוד משילוב של פונקציות מחזוריות (גלי סינוס בעוצמות שונות). מופיע במדור למידה מתוקשבת באתר מכון דוידסון. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=502018 This website is a lesson plan to help teachers make computer science and engineering fun for students. By stating the problem and need for making CSE fun, letting teachers know how it relates to real-world situations, and giving 4 objectives (performing skills, recalling facts, identifing concepts, & applying principles)This lesson plan will also have content of basic ideas to make CSE more interesting for students. It will have evaluations of test and/or observations for skills learned and technology applied. Lastly, this website will give teachers/educators a method using motivation, socialization, audience this lesson is geared towards, and the technology needs to successfully complete this lesson. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=452542 In this lesson, students use remote-controlled cars to create a system of equations. The solution of the system corresponds to the cars crashing. Multiple representations are woven together throughout the lesson, using graphs, scatter plots, equations, tables, and technological tools. Students calculate the time and place of the crash mathematically, and then test the results by crashing the cars into each other.
