11 Tools Reflections

I will use the wiki for working math problems this year. It will allow collaboration between students and can be done from home if necessary. The wiki will enhance writing skills and broaden student understanding of problem solving strategies needed to solve real life math problems. I will use the itouches as a math center if I have them. Photostory offers a different avenue for group presentations. Using a wiki may be awkward for me at first, but I am confident the students and I will embrace the change. Colleagues from other campuses have discussed using flip cameras to film students solving problems at the Activeboard as a math center. Students will then be responsible for uploading the lesson. I will continue to collaborate with colleagues to find the online resources that are most effective for facilitating math concept understanding in my classroom.
