Just stumbled back upon this thread as I was searching for ways I could create an iBook in iBooks Author, but also give the reader an opportunity to do some math practice using their finger like in GoodNotes or iAnnotate, etc.

I’m thinking the only possibility would be to add a “link” to a handout/worksheet or have the user take a screenshot and bring into their own favourite iPad annotation app.

I love the interactivity of an iBook, but I’d still like to offer opportunities for the student to “try it” themselves.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Hi, I’m a first year teacher at a small country school in NZ. I’ve hit on a way to do the graphing part in the class. I have access to netbooks and PCs in the class, and with small class numbers, it’s often possible to have 1 computer per one or two students. I use Google docs Spreadsheet, share it with my students and get them to edit one of the cells according to the rule. Google docs can graph this in real time, updating the cells as the students enter their data.

2.5+3.5 does not add up to 5, it makes 6

but maybe that was an obvious mistake to get students thinking.

Great blog
