Classroom users serve as the testbed for
ESCOT interactive activities by providing
valuable feedback on activity interface,
educational content, and classroom feasibiliy.
Classroom Users
How teachers and students get involved
Teachers and students around
the country serve in the ESCOT testbed as classroom
users. Through a partnership with the Math
Forum, ESCOT activites
are made available for classroom use as online
Problems-of-the-Week (EPoWs). Each week, a new
EPoW is made available for students to download.
Students can submit electronic solutions which
are then mentored by ESCOT staff. Lesson planning
around EPoWs is facilitated by ESCOT Teacher
Pages describing the mathematical ideas, pedagogical
goals and NCTM standards
behind the activity.
Teachers and students can
also participate directly in ESCOT development
efforts as members of authoring
teams or EPoW Testers.
