GeT Seminar — December 18th, 2020

 

Teaching Geometry for Teachers in the Time of Covid-19

Friday, December 18, 2020
11:00 am PT | 12:00 pm MT | 1:00 pm CT | 2:00 pm ET
Presenter: Julia St. Goar

Summary: This semester, Julia adapted her GeT course to accommodate in-person students, remote synchronous students, and remote asynchronous students. In this seminar, she will share some information about how her class was structured, how this class was different from other semesters, challenges she experienced, and tips and suggestions for those who will be teaching a GeT course next semester. While this seminar will focus mostly on Covid-19 related changes, she will also share some improvements and strategy changes she made this semester that she suspects will continue to be helpful outside of a Covid-19 context.

Registration Closed

Duration: 60 minutes

Format: Online seminar via Zoom web meeting software with questions and discussion. Detailed instructions for joining the seminar will be emailed to registered participants.
