Blogging Tip: Tutorials

People have expressed a desire to become stronger on such topics as factoring, long division of polynomials, interpreting graphs of trigonomteric functions, etc.

A useful and interesting post (and one incidentally that would weigh quite favorably in the grading scheme) would be to post a mini-tutorial that you have created.

Such a post might inlcude:
  • Background theory
  • Examples with Solutions
  • Practice Problems
  • Extra challenge problems
  • A link to a help site

The sky is the limit. I think that if you undertake such a project, you will find it much more rewarding and effective than doing homework problems from the book.

"See it. Do it. Teach it."

Consider employing some interesting form of presentation. See Mr. Moyano for technology tips.

Good luck.

When creating a new post, use the built in spell check.

We all make mistakes, but remember, what you write goes out to the entire world. You can make yourself look better with just a simple click.

Blogging Tip

Give your response a meaningful and relevant title. That way, when the post appears in our blog archive (see sidebar), everyone will know the topic.

You can also attach a label in the bar below the post so future bloggers can more easily search for post. For instance, I attached the label "tip". Later, when more tips have been posted we can find them all by searching for "tip".

See my earlier post labelled Forgetting Curve. Later, I can go back and find it easily.
