Prompt #10

Chapter nine discusses math concepts, but I feel the resources mentioned in this chapter can be used for any subject. The chapter went into a lot of detail about blogging. From a math stand point it suggested posting a math problem and having the students create a similar problem. Then the students would have to evaluate another student's post. Another example the chapter gave was posting a problem and asking why something is the way it is. This would allow the students to explain how they came to a particular conclusion. I think both of these are great ways to get students thinking and working with other students. I would definitely consider doing one if not both of these in my classroom. Blogging allows students to demonstrate their understanding of the material. Penzu was mentioned in this chapter and was said to be an online journal for the classroom. Blogger is always another great option. Podcasting was another subject matter in this chapter. I love podcasting and feel that it can be great for the classroom. Students are active learners, so this is a great non- traditional way of learning. It is also great to have a classroom website, so a Wiki would be perfect. This would allow students and parents to be very involved in the whole learning process.
