Instructional Ideas for Web 2.0 Calc

1. When solving a problem, students can use the calculator as a tool. If multiple steps are required to solve the problem, students can take screenshots of each piece of data they entered into the calculator. They can then add those screenshots to create a presentation that shows how they solved the problem. Some recommended web tools that can be used to create a presentation for this include StoryboardThat, Biteable, and Stupeflix.
2. If students are stuck on a problem and cannot find someone to help them, teachers can encourage them to post their question to the “Forum” section of this website. Students can then monitor their responses.
3. When students come to a problem that requires them to use a specific equation, they can choose the equation from the “Formulary” menu and input their data. The website will then solve the equation.
4. For advanced students, teachers can have them browse the “Forum” section for questions and answer them. For each question they answer, students can take a screenshot of their work, and show it to their teacher. In turn, teachers can give them extra credit for their work.
