Weblog for May 29

During class today, the group and I completed the task on flickr.com. The project came together nicely as we had plenty of pics and a good lesson plan that connected to the assignment. Our project was over math uses in the real world, which we chose to do driving and math. We had about 25 pics, some good, some funny, but all important to driving in the real world. The plan was to use that as an icebreaker for the students, then have the students come up with ideas on pictures to take and present on math in the real world.

The podcast project was very confusing at first since the website would not let me record any sound bites. So the suggestion was made by Leah that I just use the sound recorder on the drop down menu and import the files. This proved to be about a thousand times easier than fighting with podomatic.com - THANKS LEAH!! I hope to start and complete my podcast on a portion of a lesson tommorrow, and move on to the next assignment from there.

My group also did a math lesson using real life photos. Our students were to identify shapes in the photos. I really FlickR, it was easy to work with!

That's a neat idea to have your students identify shapes in flickr. I'm thinking you could even add notes as hints.
