How can this apply to a math classroom?  I have my students do math problems on Sketchfu.  They can then go back and see how to do the problem when they forget how!  Next, I will have them start embedding their sketches into their blog posts.

The bonus is that I am finding out that some of my students are very creative.  One student actually created a little movie.  Granted, it was a boxing match, but it was very creative nonetheless.

Read more →]]> Today, my 6th Grade Math classes have started keeping a Blog.  My classes begin with an Essential Question.  Each blog post will simply answer the Essential Question.

We will start taking notes electronically (using a USB graphics tablet), and then upload the notes to their blog post for the day.  This way, I don’t have to worry about a student finding their notes.  Basically, we will be creating an electronic notebook!

I love technology, and I’m a PC!
