Class Blogs

It's a simple idea, but what a great way for students to take ownership in a class. Also, what a great way to communicate with parnets and the rest of the community about what's going on inside your classroom. I plan to incorportate one into my engineering classes starting next year. I'll have each student take a turn in posting the exciting stuff that's going on in class. I have to thank Kris mentioning the idea in class.

LoTi Is Sobering

OK so that sounds a little dramatic, but I was surprised at how low my score would be for my math teaching. Other than using a graphing calculator, we don't do much else technically speaking. It is difficult to find time, in Precalculus and AP Calc, to implement stuff when it seems that we are on such a tight time frame already. In my engineering course, I am a little bit higher. The program is called Project Lead the Way and it seems as though it was modeled after the principles of this entire grad program. That part excites me. I've got some work to do in math though.
