Teaching Scenarios

Classroom – no media

For teachers who are not comfortable with media or don’t have media access in the classroom:

  • use the traditional print text and workbook in the classroom
  • students can access media at home or in a computer lab or library
  • teachers can supply group time in class for students to share their media experiences (for example, in groups with their StudyBUZZ study guide printouts)

Classroom – some media

For a classroom that only has a few computers or has an instruction station with a projector:

  • teachers can teach as above (see "no media" scenario) and/or project some Pilot Math learning media as appropriate.
  • send students alone or in small groups to work with media (for examples, those struggling with fractions can access a "fractions" concept capsule, those finished with their work can play a math embedded game, those interested in the graphing calculator can do the concept capsule on graphing calculators and be provided with a graphing calculator to complete a project)
  • break students into StudyBUZZ groups for test review

Classroom – media rich

For classrooms that have a computer for every one or two students and possibly a Smart Board.

  • everything from above (see “some media” scenario)
  • plan teacher-designed lessons around the media (for example: game days, student groups presenting concept capsules on the Smart Board, student run review sessions)
