Tutoring - enough interest for a group? http://www.equalis.com/forums/posts.asp?topic=148172 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 05:20:57 GMT Wed, 20 Oct 2010 17:23:18 GMT Copyright © 2010 Equalis - Where Engineering and Science Computes Tutoring - enough interest for a group? http://www.equalis.com/forums/posts.asp?topic=148172 http://www.equalis.com/forums/posts.asp?topic=148172
Sometimes students simply need to have classroom lessons repeated a slower pace in order to catch on, but sometimes they need to come at a topic from a different angle altogether. Years of experience have helped me with coming up with alternate approaches, but it would certainly be useful to share ideas with others. Some students are very challenging!

I don't want to create a group just to talk to myself.  :)  If this is a topic of interest to you, please let me know.

Were you thinking of this as a tool for other tutors and educators to interact and discuss, or for students to ask questions? If it were to be aimed at other teachers and tutors there are quite a few already within the Equalis community who would most likely be interested! I think a forum would be the best way to go since it offers a better environment for back and forth conversation and question and answers. On the other hand, our groups have a lot to offer, such as blogs, calendars, events, and photo galleries; all of which can be customized and personalized.

Thanks,

Brittany

It may be interesting to try this and see what happens!]]> Thu, 14 Oct 2010 00:43:20 GMT http://www.equalis.com/forums/posts.asp?topic=149177 http://www.equalis.com/forums/posts.asp?topic=149177
I think you're right that a forum would be more suitable.

For the forum name, I was thinking something along the lines of "Educating Each Other" or "Educators Solving Problems" with the tag line of: "Discuss topics and ideas with other teachers, tutors, and professors to learn new and different approaches to teaching."

Let me know what you think.

I'm concerned that the suggested forum names may not get across the idea that this is people who know a topic discussing strategies to help those struggling with that topic. My suggestion (but I'm certainly open to more brainstorming!) would be "Math Coaching Strategies".
