Today in class we discussed the use of flickr.com and how to use digital camera pictures to teach or enhance a lesson. The website was a little difficult to follow, but most sites are when a person is just learning it. There were several long processes to invite friends to a created site. When I went to the contacts tab and hit "Invite your friends", it took me to a screen where I had to email the friends on another site to join. Then I went through another process with four or five steps to add friends. I am confident though that the process will become more simple as I get to know the site.
Myself, Justin, and Tiffany decided to make a lesson having to do with math and uses in the real world with driving. Such ideas that came out were odometers, gas prices, new car prices, and tire gauges. I think it should be a very interesting project.

I love your idea about teaching math using a real world example. I wish my Math teachers had thought of something like that back when I was in school. High school students especially could really appreciate a math lesson that has to do with new car prices,the price of gas, etc. I think this lesson could reach students that you otherwise might not reach because of its ability to connect with what is going on in their lives.
