Taken From LEAL, D. (2010): Online Education and the role of tutor.
William Shakespeare, in the story's Dream Summer Night writes: "the dreamer always Demons imagines there really are in hell." Obeying the Master's words Diego Leal: "I would say the most important to the process is to keep an open mind." Well! just that I do and, to that extent espantare Demons (not really exist) that are only created by not allowing my brain to move forward. After my presentation I say "I've never dabbled with a proposal for ICT in the classroom. I've always used the chalk board. I would like to use ICT to see whether indeed evolve (change, transform) the ideas that students have, on concepts mathematicians. "
Then my interest: "1. Convert this technology into an instrument (in the words of Rabardel). 2. Understand issues related to education in other countries. 3. Make new friends. 4. Develop a proposal for intervention of ICT in my teaching. 5. Learning to work collaboratively. 6. Breaking with the traditional assessment paradigm. 7. Breaking the paradigm of the kind of chalk and board.
Then come the ideas of Blanca Margarita Parra: "Hello, William!
My background is in mathematics but I have dedicated to the teaching of mathematics rather than mathematics itself.
I am no expert on this in computing, but my students have gotten into the use of certain technology tools for the projects I've assigned. Through them I've learned some things.
For example, my algebra students (first semester of school) should do an animation of a batted baseball and then cached by another player. When I proposed the project, I imagined that they would in a succession of images on paper, in booklet form (must have a name for it) and encouraged to move quickly leaves. It was teamwork. The surprise was that each team used different technological tool (on which they learned on their own), and no paper. I learned a lot with them. July 31, 2010 9:06 "
" Really, I think students are a source of a lot of knowledge for teaching. The generation of the Internet are very concerned abreast of new developments, resources, etc. and are well ahead of their teachers. I think it is a commonplace to say that the traditional school limited that it supports the overall development of students, but it remains true.
If you are interested in other approaches to develop learning in students invite you to see this WebQuest I did for a course in Chetumal, for teachers from different areas. This is the methodology of problem-based learning (PBL for its acronym in English): http://questgarden.com/q/problemas. I use this methodology at different times in my courses. "
"For example, this semester my course of Calculus I (Differential) begins with three cans real three different beverages: juice, 225 ml Welch, a regular can of Coca Cola and a can of Red Bull (250 ml ). The question students must answer is cans What is the most efficient model in terms use the minimum amount of material for its construction? And they can do whatever is necessary to respond , but must base its response.
is the beginning of the course, the path analysis methodologies will be constructed more or less complex but very efficient, as the calculation provides. But mostly it is to learn to use all its resources to solve problems. August 6, 2010 18:06.
"In The Fifth Discipline, Peter Senge provides that to work effective in solving a problem or implementing a proposal must be a shared goal team members. Without this, it is difficult to achieve a desired result. also operates in class. August 4, 2010 18:02.

"Hey, want to share with you a couple of my students work they did in GeoGebra. Although they are on the second half of career (interactive design) the concepts used are of high school: conic sections. The goal is to use mathematics as an aid in the design, so they made these simulators:

I think your guys could do something similar (a simulator) with a dynamic geometry software (GeoGebra) that allows automatically generate an HTML page, which means I could hang dropbox is online. For more information I'm at your command. August 1, 2010 17:44 "
Here the idea: I propose to my students to solve the problem of beer cans, tuna or Coca-Cola, in the following situation: First: Create a blog. Second, to solve the problem mathematically arising need and do not know, therefore have to learn on their own and all you do to solve the problem, they must write in his blog.
The problem coincide with the purpose and problem-question grade 11 °. I thought only solve the problem, and not (be an experiment)
DEGREE OBJECTIVE: Study
real variable functions, limits and derivatives, such as basic concepts to solve life problems that involve minimizing or maximizing quantities, costs, areas, time. QUESTION
Problematizing:
WHAT SHOULD BE THE BEST SIZE FOR THE COST OF MATERIAL USED IN A CAN OF BEER, COCACOLA OR MINIMUM SEA TUNA?
