Doing It Differently

Last week I was teaching in a Grade 8 math class and we experienced an interesting situation of different teaching techniques. I was working as a TOC (teacher-on-call, aka substitute teacher) and the class also happened to have a student teacher. The student teacher was an experienced math teacher from overseas, so I think it is fair to say that we both felt pretty comfortable in front of the class.

Math in Moodle

If you’re like me and interested in using math notation in Moodle, I believe you have 2 options. The first option is to use the TeX filter that is in Moodle. This is a LaTeX type editor. To enable, go to site administration -> plugins -> filters TeX in Moodle: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Using_TeX_Notation And more notation info: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Using_TeX_Notation_2 The big problem with TeX in my mind is that it is a bit awkward to use.
