Week 13 and 14 Update

I have changed my project from an educational toolbox to help others taking this class to, a blog about helpful technology sites to enhance math instruction.
I really feel like during the last 3 years that I have been teaching, I’ve accumulated many technology tools and sites that help me teach math. These sites are interesting for students and also provide hands-on instruction to reinforce concepts being taught. Some of the different points that I am to blogging about include, math games, math resources, and calendar math sites. I really want to share these ideas with other educators across the country in hopes that it will enhance math instruction for other classrooms. This site will also be helpful for me, I can link to all of these accumulated resources and use during math class. I think that students need differentiation of instruction, or they become disengaged during lessons. It is my daily goal, to keep learning fun and interesting for students so that every student masters the content being taught. Not only is it the student’s responsibility to master content, but my responsibility to ensure that they are mastering the content. I treat each student as if they were my own child and expect them to give 110% effort daily during instruction.
I think that one of the ways I’ve grown as an educator, is through researching and sharing ideas with other educators. There is no reason to spend hours researching and coming up with ideas and solutions for everything by yourself, when you can share ideas with others around the world via the internet.
