Hey @tenders! Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but one of our high school math teachers is teaching a Mathematical Modeling and Reasoning (MMR) course. Here is a link to some information on the Ohio Dept. of Education's website. This course is an alternative for students to receive an Algebra II credit. The intent is to use real world applications to teach math through projects. Some of the projects have included exploring buying a house and learning about mortgage options, designing a miniature golf course, and budgeting for a Thanksgiving meal. Many of these projects have also introduced the use of spreadsheets to the students in ways that they are learning how to use the spreadsheet through the process of completing the project. The learning of both the content and the spreadsheet skills are taught within the same spreadsheet.
Canvas enters this scenario as the tool to easily deliver certain content, access to the spreadsheet files, easily submitting final projects, and the ability to give students meaningful feedback. I know, most people would say isn't that what Canvas does? Yes, it is. However, the use of Canvas in this class allows for a smooth process for the teachers and these students for a productive learning environment. If students are late to class, absent for several days, or working remotely, Canvas allows for these students to work at a personalized pace and progress forward when they are ready. While this class could be taught without Canvas, it definitely streamlines the approach for the teachers and students in this Personalized Learning environment.
If this is not what you are looking for, hopefully it helps in one way or another. If it was what you are looking for and you would like more information, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
