Special room! MSTB 226!  We'll show you some of our favorite ways to use technology in the classroom.  In some classes it's more natural than others, but even for a class like Abstract Algebra, there are lots of possibilities! We might talk about Graphmatica, Doceri, Screencastomatic, Canvas, Wolfram Demonstrations Project.  We are always looking to learn about new resources, so please let us know about any favorites you have (or resources you've heard about but never tried).

Preserving Academinc Honesty 

This is the second meeting of our sequence of teaching seminars. We will continue to illustrate (and practice) best strategies to bring active learning into our classrooms (especially in the calculus discussion sessions). In addition, we will focus on understanding and preventing academic dishonesty with the help of a special guest, Don Williams, Director of PS Student Affairs. 

This is the first of a sequence of six seminars dedicated to teaching. All grad students are welcome; participation from 1st and 2nd year grad students is required!

One of the main themes of the graduate seminar this quarter will be active learning, especially with reference to Math 2A and Math 2B.  Adrienne Williams, the new campus Teaching and Digital Strategy Consultant <http://sites.uci.edu/awilliams/welcome/> in the UCI Division of Teaching and Learning, will talk to us about the benefits of active learning. 

If you are teaching 2A/2B, you are especially encouraged to attend! You will walk out with concrete suggestions for active learning activities that can be implemented in Math 2A and Math 2B discussions as early as Week 1!

We will discuss some new questions about rational points on curves, and give some partial answers.
