I have to swallow 1000 needles because of this late timeline, right?

This is Pacifico's timeline:

I already have my theme, storyline and framework for the digital presentation so I just need to do my questions and polish the presentation.

May 4: Finish creating, improvising and solving questions 1 and 2. Start question 3.
May 8: Finish creating, improvising and solving question 3. Start inputting questions in presentation.
May 18: Create question 4.
May 22: Finish creating, improvising and solving question 4. Then input question #4.
May 29: Finish presentation and start reflection.
June 7: DONE.

Timeline probably will change because there's a high chance that my parents might come home from a distant land. = =''
And they stress me out.

D.E.V. Timeline for...well.........us!

Heeeey there all you matheees! Here's is our ever so short and ever so vague (well not really) TIMELINE for our D.E.V. (which stands for DEVELOPING EXPERT VOICES!). Haaah as you can see I am veeery excited to do this project and so are my two amigos, Dion and Mary! (Okay well one amigo and one amiga.) So anyways, I'll stop myself before I ramble on.

This timeline is brought to you by me (jayp) on behalf of my group members (Dion and Mary). It's also brought to you by the letters D, E and V and the number 6! Here it is!

Apr.24-30: Figure out/Finalize our EPIC storyline.

Apr.30-May 13: Figure out/Answer/Finalize all 6 questions and add them into the storyline.**

May 14-16: Make a video filming plan so we aren't filming around aimlessly.

May 17-June 2: Film and edit video so that it looks beee-yoou-tee-full!

June 3-4: Make sure everything is "movie" perfect and upload.

June 5: ABSOLUTE DAY OF DOOM!

**We basically gave ourselves 2 days/question (2 days*6 questions=12 days) plus one day just in case. We didn't give ourselves days for each question because we know that each question may take a little more time than others so we just thought we'd give ourselves around two days for each question. If we have extra time, then we'll use that for the tougher question(s).

So there it is! In black, Arial font, size "normal" open for all of you guys to see! Good luck with all of your project guys! And also good luck on our next test!

Developing Expert Voices: The Assignment

The Assignment
Think back on all the things you have learned so far this semester and create (not copy) four problems that are representative of what you have learned. Provide annotated solutions to the problems; they should be annotated well enough for an interested learner to understand and learn from you. Your problems should demonstrate the upper limit of your understanding of the concepts. (I expect more complex problems from a student with a sophisticated understanding than from a student with just a basic grasp of concepts.) You must also include a brief summary reflection (250 words max) on this process and also a comment on what you have learned so far.

If you wish you may work in groups of two or three students but not more. A group of two students is required to create five problems; a group of three, six problems.

Timeline
You will choose your own due date based on your personal schedule and working habits. The absolute final deadline is June 7, 2009. You shouldn't really choose this date. On the sidebar of the blog is our class Google Calendar. You will choose your deadline and we will add it to the calendar in class. Once the deadline is chosen it is final. You may make it earlier but not later.

Format
Your work must be published as an online presentation. You may do so in any format that you wish using any digital tool(s) that you wish. It may be as simple as an extended scribe post, it may be a video uploaded to YouTube or Google Video, it may be a SlideShare or BubbleShare presentation or even a podcast. The sky is the limit with this. You can find a list of free online tools you can use here. Feel free to mix and match the tools to create something original if you like.

Summary
So, when you are done your presentation should contain:
(a) 4 (or 5, or 6) problems you created. Concepts included should span the content of at least two full units. The idea is for this to be a mathematical sampler of your expertise in mathematics.

(b) Each problem must include a solution with a detailed annotation. The annotation should be written so that an interested learner can learn from you. This is where you take on the role of teacher.

(c) At the end write a brief reflection that includes comments on:

• Why did you choose the concepts you did to create your problem set?
• How do these problems provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far?
• Did you learn anything from this assignment? Was it educationally valuable to you? (Be honest with this. If you got nothing out of this assignment then say that, but be specific about what you didn't like and offer a suggestion to improve it in the future.)

Experts always look back at where they have been to improve in the future.

(d) Your presentation must be published online in any format of your choosing on the Developing Expert Voices (2008) blog.
Experts are recognized not just for what they know but for how they demonstrate their expertise in a public forum.

Levels of Achievement
Instead of levels 1-4 (lowest to highest) we will use these descriptors. They better describe what this project is all about.

Novice: A person who is new to the circumstances, work, etc., in which he or she is placed.

Apprentice: To work for an expert to learn a skill or trade.

Journeyperson: Any experienced, competent but routine worker or performer.

Expert: Possessing special skill or knowledge; trained by practice; skillful and skilled.
