A few colleagues and I recently initiated a bit of self directed professional development. We decided to watch a selection of math ignite talks as a focus for discussion regarding mathematics instruction and educational practices. In preparation for this, I reached out the the #MTBoS on Twitter to ask for suggestions. I was pleased to get some valuable feedback. We took the feedback we got from our Personalized Learning Network (PLN) as well as sharing our favourites with each other to create a playlist of math ignite talks. A big thanks goes out to The Math Forum at NCTM for having such a well organized and easy to access YouTube channel containing math ignite talks from numerous conferences. What are your favourites?
Has watching these videos inspired you to create your own mathematics ignite talk? If it has, and your looking for advice, look no father than Robert Kaplinsky's web page. He has a post titled, "How I Prepare for an Ignite Talk" that will provide you will lots of tips and ideas. Update: I've added a part 2 playlist of six additional math ignite talks here. EL
