Final Project

My final project is a PowerPoint presentation that teaches students connections between linear equations and their graphs. Check it out.

UDL Image

Using MS Word, PrimoPDF, Adobe Reader, Paint, and Audacity, I have created a UDL image that helps show the relationship between a line's equation and its graph. I'm sure there's an easier way to do what I did, but I basically used auto-shapes in Word to make the graphs, and then instead of saving directly as a PDF (doing that moved the graphs slightly), I had to print to PrimoPDF. I zoomed in and copied the area using Adobe Reader, then I pasted the image using Paint. In Paint I also changed the location of a negative sign, a minor point. Finally I used Audacity to edit my audio description.

Cladogram Presentation (Again)

I just figured out how to save my presentation as a web page. Try it out here.

UDL Book Builder

More cladograms! I made a book on the CAST website. You can download it or read it online.

Cladogram Tutorial

Here's a powerpoint I made that teaches you how to make a cladogram in four minutes. Click here to download the file. You'll have to then unzip it into a folder. It's important that you keep the powerpoint file in the same folder as all the sound clips; otherwise, you won't hear my narration.

If anyone knows a better way of posting this, please let me know. I tried just embedding all the sound files, but it only worked with *.wav files, and the entire file ended up being about 40 MB large. This way it keeps it to about 7 MB.

Circles in Math Class

This is a video from my math class on March 14 (Pi Day) last year, when we calculated pi by measuring the circumference and diameter of a giant circle in units of shoe length.
