My PLN

This is how I roll...
Ah I guess I don't roll but this is how I learn and try and share what I learn with other people.

Progress Book For Dummies...

Screencast Tutorial of Progress Book

For my students I would have them use screencasts to explain their answers to online homework assignments they do on Study Island. Since all of the student get different problems it would be help to not only hear why they are choosing an answer, but to also see the problem.

Shapes Project

Shapes shapes everywhere shapes...

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.


Check out the still frames here.

Students will find polygons out in their neighborhoods and make photo album of them as I did. Students can use paint to highlight the shapes and post them online on sites like Picasa.

Wiki Love

Teachers...
need an assignment or project...
Check out ktwelve Wiki for all sorts of goodies.

Here are a few post that I added
Solving Equations Project
Conversions Project
Famous Mathematician Project

For students I might set up my own Wiki and have the students use it to create a study guide. No sense in everyone making their own mediocre study guide. Instead, the students will work as a community to develop a high quality study guide.
