During class today we discussed using the podomatic and a new site www.tappedin.org. After I signed up for tappedin.org, I immediately began to search for Math groups and activities for students. After searching through a few groups, I found a math game site called www.cut-the-knot.org/games/shtml. It had more than ten useful games to help with calculation and problem solving.
During the class presentations, I was very impressed by the use of the iMovies to tell stories about each individual, and I believe that next year on the first day of school, I will present an iMovie about myself and why I got into teaching to my students. I believe that my students need not only to hear about who I really am, but they need to see it too. The ideas were wonderful and I plan to use them in my own class next year.
I also learned that lessons can be easily taught using the flickr web site and iMovies. The ideas of using flickr across disciplines in the Art/Spanish presentation was excellent. I do a Algebra/Geometry project in my class and I think that it would be an excellent idea to use flickr to show pictures on how Algebra can connect to Geometry.
