Abstract

Abstract: No longer just a user of commercial software, the 21st century teacher is a designer of interactive software based on theories of learning. This software, a comprehensive study of straight-line equations, enhances conceptual understanding, sketching, graphic interpretive and word-problem solving skills as well as making connections to real-life and scientific phenomena. Developed using Maple and Hyperstudio, this software of 40 questions actively captures students' visual intelligence and evokes thinking to provide generative responses. Other features include corrective feedback, hide-and-show, scoring, timing and a student output file containing a student's 1st and 2nd responses and revealing any misconceptions held and difficulties encountered.
