Now that you have seen what other people did in creating their units, is there anything that you might do differently if you were to redesign your own unit?

I may have used the moodle platform and thought of ways to use its tools more. It's definitely a different platform to use than the one we had thought of (which would most likely require the building of a new learning site). This course (MSTU4050) has been a really engaging and thought provoking class so far, so I'd be interested to brainstorm some of the ways a math course could benefit from this platform. I would like to see a sample math class on moodle, if one exists somewhere.

What are you most concerned about as you embark on creating a curriculum unit?

Gus and I will be creating a curriculum on quadratic functions. While I've taught this topic many times, I have never taught it online. I am most concerned about the efficient online delivery of content, especially because the discussion forum, a virtual classroom tool I'm most familiar with, may be difficult to use heavily in a math class. I also want to make sure that I use online resources to the best of its capabilities, rather than being tethered to the teaching methods effective in a physical classroom. This project should be very interesting and challenging. I hope that we are able to develop an excellent curriculum that can be used.

Did you change anything in the Google spreadsheet? If so, what? Has your view of the schools you chose to research changed from the first week you looked at them? If so, how?

I did not change any of the placements for either of the schools that I'd researched. While I definitely learned a lot more in depth about student-student interactions and online discussions, I still feel that the schools were generally placed appropriately based on the information that I was able to gather throughout the research.
