Algebra++
The design goal of Algebra++ is a series of algebra textbooks, composed entirely of spreadsheet workbooks. It weaves three threads: incorporating core principles of computer science and engineering, with whole-brain learning, tapping students’ visual, linguistic and kinesthetic processing; nine years of experience exclusively using the spreadsheet in lieu of a whiteboard or PowerPoint slides (last spring the transition to online posed no substantive change for my prior students); online teaching frequently requires use of a chat box in which any hybrid standardized notation should be usable — ALGERL© 1.0 (Algebraic Language) should pass that test. This session will showcase the non-calculational use of the spreadsheet as presentation media for general teaching.
