Tool #4: Moving Up to the Clouds

Wow I love Google docs. I can see the potential for getting students to collaborate!
I created a Google form as a sample of something I could give to students at the beginning of the year when I am getting to know them. Click here to take my survey.

I am going to brainstorm with my teammates to see how we can incorporate Google docs in our math classes.

Tool 3 Finding online video and image resources

I used Youtube to find some entertaining videos connecting parabolas to gaming.  Students can relate to angry birds and Mario.  I will use the videos before we start quadratics in algebra II. 

Getting the drop box account was easy.  Look forward to using it.

Tool #2: Building Community in the Online Environment

I made comments on the three blogs listed below:
Infuse learning
Edshelf
Moments with McLaughlin

I was really interested in infuse learning. Students are able to respond using cell phones. Examples can be given for them in multiple languages. And its free!

I was able to learn a lot and had no problem with posting comments online. I am good communicating with anyone. 

I plan on visiting this site in the future when i have a little spare time.
