The first illustrates the artistic and dynamic character of the Mathlets. The second and more interactive example shows how formulas can be brought to life using the Mathlets in lecture. Each segment is followed by questions, my remarks about the lecture fragments and the features of the Mathlets, and examples that illuminate their use.\u00a0At the end there are a couple of exercises.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a title=\"Module 2\" href=\"http:\/\/mathlets.org\/training\/module-2\/\">Module 2: Mathlets in Group Work<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nThe first segment of this module contains an example of the use of a Mathlet to organize group work by students in a lecture setting. The second provides several samples of what you can ask groups of students to do using the Mathlets, inside or outside a classroom. Each segment is followed by questions, and my remarks about the lecture fragments and the features of the Mathlets, and examples that demonstrate their use. At the end there are a couple of exercises.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a title=\"Module 3\" href=\"http:\/\/mathlets.org\/training\/module-3\/\">Module 3: Mathlets in Homework<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nThe segments of this module consists of sample homework assignments created around one or another of the MIT Mathlets.\u00a0They are followed by questions, and my remarks about the features of the Mathlets, and examples that illuminate their use.\u00a0At the end there are a couple of exercises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each presentation of the use of Mathlets in the different contexts is followed by the instructor\u2019s thoughts, experiences, and recommendations regarding the use of Mathlets within that context. To give the participant practice at\u00a0integrating the Mathlet technology into his or her own teaching this course includes questions, exercises to be used in your own course, as well as activities at the end of each module. The short course <a title=\"Wrap-up\" href=\"http:\/\/mathlets.org\/training\/wrap-up\/\">wraps-up<\/a> with another look at the resources available at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mathlets.org\" title=\"Mathlets Website\">Mathlets website<\/a>, and a listing of the\u00a0<em>Virtues of the Mathlets<\/em>\u00a0that\u00a0have been illustrated along the way in this short course.\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"font-size:1.1em;\">\n<div class=\"next-page-container\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mathlets.org\/training\/Introduction\/\">Introduction <em class=\"fa fa-hand-o-right\"><\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction This self-paced short course by Professor Haynes R.
