Hey twitter! We’re new here! Check out our website: Wearable Learning Cloud Platform | Official Site wearablelearning.org/
Thanks for hopping in our breakout session! We had some awesome discussions today at #LAK21 @lak21virtual
Here we go, again! Come chat with us about the WLCP at the Division C Technology-Based Environments Poster Sessions from 2:30 to 3:30pm EDT! #AERA21 @erin_ottmar @hansmith1123 @AveryHClosser @DrFrancisCastro
We're excited to present at #AERA21 today! Check out the Advanced Technologies for Learning Roundtable Session from 12-1pm to hear about how we're "Augmenting Embodied Mathematics Classrooms with Mobile Tutors"! @DrFrancisCastro @hansmith1123 @erin_ottmar @AveryHClosser

How can we support conceptual understanding in algebra? @annabartel_ is showing the effects of self-explanation with and without tape diagrams on conceptual knowledge in algebra #MCLS2020bLATENIGHT

As with so many other issues related to pedagogy, computing ed at ungraduate level for non-CS majors could use ideas from K-12 #STEM+#Computing integration research. We def address #3 & #4, and #2 as well (recognizing domain practices as part of the integration). #NSFcisePI2021

Does spontaneous attention to relations predict principle knowledge for negative numbers? @PratherLab is answering this question now at #MCLS2020bLATENIGHT

Use @GraspableMath? Use @Desmos? Use both! You can easily move your work between GM and D. GM->D: Click on the circle to copy, and ctrl- (or cmd-)-v to paste. D-> GM: highlight and ctrl-c to copy, insert a GM equation, and control-v to paste into the keyboard. Happy mathing!

This was the most missed problem type for many years. Using @GraspableMath changed that. Bad habits don't develop (distributing into the squared binomial) and students can make sense of the process while learning the process. #iteachmath #mtbos #edtech #PLN

What do you think the role of standardized testing in education should be and why? We're asking big questions this week with @LSTWPI. Weigh in here or join us Thursday from 11am-12pmET for a virtual brown-bag session!
Two of our team members will be presenting in a computational thinking panel today at the @lsgs_conference sharing our research and how we plan to define and measure CT in the future @AveryHClosser @hansmith1123
