Had a great time at the EduTech Day Conference at the Fashion Institute of Technology!
Glad to show how fantastic Mathplosion is at the place where I work.
Thank you to those that came to the session!
Hope you register and try it out for yourself.

Two conferences coming up in June!
* Calvin and myself will be at 21st Annual Conference on Instruction & Technology aka CIT 2012 at Stony Brook University. Come see us Friday, June 1st during Session 9 in SAC 302 from 12:30 – 1:00 pm!

We’re so happy to have more volunteers helping out with Mathplosion. The latest addition is Sophie - she hopes to use her varied expertise to help design both an aesthetically pleasing & user-friendly interface as well as assist in other areas of programming.
A little bit about Sophie:
Sophie Idromenos has a Bachelors in Art & a Masters in Computer Science, both with a specialization in computer graphics. Originally an art teacher, she became the lead technology teacher for dyslexic & autistic students, grades 1st -12th at a private school, all the while building a “state-of-the-art” technology curriculum rivaling that of public schools. Prior to this, she worked as a teaching/research assistant, and instructional technologist in a university. However, her knowledge extends beyond academia to the IT field, where she worked as a graphic/web designer/developer with an emphasis on user-interface design (UI) & user-experience (UX).

I am very excited to present more information about Mathplosion at EduTech Day held at the Fashion Institute of Technology this Friday, March 16th.“Creating Mathematics Content in the Cloud”
Jennifer Shloming, FIT
Location: Seminar Room 4 -
In this Video demonstration, I show you how to change what the questions look like in Mathplosion. For instance, the font color, the font, the size and more!
-
We’re in the process of creating many short video demos to help you use the site.You can expect the following topics:
- adding a new problem set
- tags
- adding a new problem to an existing problem set
- editing a problem
- changing color/size of a problem
- copying and pasting into gmail

Mathplosion in Austin, Texas.
Thanks to all those who listened to us talk about Mathplosion today! Feel free to ask us questions if you see us during the rest of the conference. Or, email us.
Hope you stay in touch:

Have a look at mathplosion!
Here is a little introductory video to show you how Mathplosion works.
-
Right now templates have tags!
The tags we are using so far are:
- statistics
- area
- means
- normal
- backwards
- stdnormal
- confidence
- hypothesis
- proportions
and more!
We will soon explain what these tags mean (since they might look like gibberish to you at the moment).
-
Here is a first look of what you will see at Mathplosion!
On top you will be able to enter any values for the given variables. The numbers you enter will show up in the question and answer within seconds! This is one of my favorite features of this site. While teaching, you may realize that your students want more practice with a certain topic. Now you can quickly let them practice the same type of question with different values! You can create an entire problem set within a minute or so.
Also note that you will have the choice to view your saved problems in different ways. You can choose to have just the questions visible without the answers or both. More on this later.
I wanted to start off with a simple example so I can explain what will happen. In a couple weeks, I will post a video or two so you can see me use Mathplosion in real time.
