Mastercam Tutorial Videos

(View Complete Item Description)

Estos videos fueron creados para mi clase de Mastercam en Linn Benton Community College. Se usan en tres términos en un formato de "aula invertida". Los estudiantes siguen los tutoriales en casa y luego completan una parte similar durante el laboratorio, que utiliza las habilidades y los conocimientos enseñados en los tutoriales. Los videos se enumeran aproximadamente en el orden en que se presentan en la clase. Se incluyen enlaces a los archivos utilizados en los tutoriales ya las secciones dentro del tutorial debajo de cada video.

Teach in Spanglish

(View Complete Item Description)

Teach in Spanglish is founded on a simple idea: while just a small fraction of today’s college students will progress to the high-level, all-in-Spanish courses offered by language departments, more than two-thirds enter college with the ability to understand Spanish when given context in English, support from their instructor, and time. Over nearly a decade in the classroom, our team has shown that students who took Spanish for at least two years in high school, at least one year in college, and/or who were raised in a bilingual environment (Spanish as a Heritage Language speakers, or SHL) can, with proper support, engage in high-level analysis of Spanish and Spanglish primary sources and original texts, utilizing insights from linguistics to both structure the classroom experience and guide students in their engagement. The teach in Spanglish website links to a form that allows instructors to request access to a free Canvas site that contains instructor facing videos, quizzes, and other modules to help get started teaching in Spanglish.

Welcome to Maple Falls—Introduction to Reading, Writing, and Grammar for Adult ESOL Learners

(View Complete Item Description)

This student textbook, teacher guide, and supplementary materials help support the development of Adult ESOL learners. Welcome to Welcome to Maple Falls — Introduction to Reading, Writing, and Grammar for Adult ESOL Learners. Our goal in creating this book was to provide a more structured and grammatical beginning reading and writing book that was flexible enough to help students with no or limited literacy but also aid students with advanced literacy who just haven’t had much exposure to English, so they are at a beginning level. We designed this book to follow experience-based learning principles, which rely heavily on using adults’ prior learning to increase the accessibility of learning and incorporate new learning. This means creating contexts, readings, activities, and learning opportunities that are immediately relevant to student situations. We see language as a tool to be used by students to achieve social, community, educational, and work-related goals. However, this is not survival English, but a learning informed by research that situates the learner at the center of learning and interacting with materials and classmates to improve their own lives and those of classmates. This type of learning creates self- directed learners and helps learners be ready for problem-solving and critical thinking in authentic situations.

Vocab ASAP: Intermediate Vocabulary for English Language Learners

(View Complete Item Description)

This work is organized around vocabulary for 5 themes: Psychology, Wellness, Technology, Careers, and Oregon. Each theme has 2 units for a total of 10 units. Each unit contains 24 - 28 target vocabulary words. Other words that may be unfamiliar to students are glossed. We use this material as our textbook for an intermediate vocabulary class for adult English language learners at our community college. This class meets for 2 hours per week, and we typically use 5 units per 10-week term. Each unit contains multiple readings. If you are not teaching a vocabulary class, the readings and vocabulary work may be useful supplements in other classes.

MTH 256 Supplement to Judson's “The Ordinary Differential Equations Project”

(View Complete Item Description)

MTH 256 at Portland Community College includes a variety of differential equations and their solutions, with emphasis on applied problems in engineering and physics. Uses differential equations software. Students communicate results in oral and written form. Graphing and Computer Algebra System (CAS) technology are used, such as Desmos and/or GeoGebra which are available at no cost. This is a one-term introduction to ordinary differential equations with applications. Topics include classification of, and what is meant by the solution of a differential equation, first-order equations for which exact solutions are obtainable, explicit methods of solving higher-order linear differential equations, an introduction to systems of differential equations, and the Laplace transform. Applications of first-order linear differential equations and second-order linear differential equations with constant coefficients will be studied. With this supplement, we are adding to the work of Thomas Judson's “The Ordinary Differential Equations Project” by providing additional practice problems that mostly focus on applications. We worked with the 2022 edition 2  of The Ordinary Differential Equations Project 3 . In sections 2.2, 2.4, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4, we utilize the work and ideas of Steven Strogatz in his paper titled “Love Affairs and Differential Equations” 4 , Published in the February 1988 edition of Mathematics Magazine. This paper and several others expanding these ideas can be found by googling “Romeo and Juliet differential equations”.
