MentorMob and the Real Number System

One of our first assignments in Algebra 2 is learning the subsets of the number system.  I am curious about MentorMob ... wondering if it will be a helpful tool.  So I put the lesson on the number system in that format.




I may have to tweak the process a bit ... would be useful for putting together flipped lessons.

My plan is to assign the MentorMob activity on Day 1 with only a very brief introduction to the task.  I'll be using this assignment to learn about my students.  Are they ready for some independent learning?  Will they follow through on assignments?  What kind of notes do they take?

It's a work in progress!  Your thoughts?

MentorMob ... Awesome Tool!

One of my summer professional development activities is writing more regularly in my blog about my own learning.  In our school, embedding technology effectively is an ongoing initiative.

I decided to explore MentorMob ... a tool for creating a playlist of websites, documents, videos, and more so that everything you need for a topic is in one list.

I created a simple MentorMob on using the Hundred Board in the classroom.  There are six websites that offer a number of ideas, strategies, games, and math center activities.  My MentorMob looks like this:

Create your own Playlist on MentorMob!

I can envision using MentorMob to differentiate instruction - especially for able, independent learners.  I could set up a MentorMob on a curriculum topic ... embed challenges along the way, and allow those students to work on more challenging material.  This tool is an awesome classroom management tool because students need only one link to the playlist.  Every other website, activity, video, sets of questions are linked in the one playlist!

Have you used MentorMob?  How would you use it in your classroom?
