The IT Factor - Mathematics: Purpose and Goals

This blog is a forum for parents, teachers, students, and others to join in a conversation about integrating technology into the mathematics classroom. Mathematics is a “high-stakes” area and there are many forums out there to discuss how to improve test scores and such. That is not what this blog is about. This blog is a sounding board for ideas, concerns, and much more. I hope that through this blog, you will be able to understand more about technology integration in the mathematics classroom as well as express ideas regarding the technology friendly classroom. Please join us in a great discussion.

Final Blog Part A

What did you learn from this blogging experience about yourself and about blogs as tools for teaching and learning?
I have learned that blogging is fun and therapeutic. I feel that blogs are definitely a creative way to express yourself. I want to continue creating and expanding blogs. I want to start one for my classes so that students can communicate through a different venue. I think that getting students typing about my contents is one way I can incorporate writing in the content areas. Students have a tough time "writing", why not type?

What surprised you about this blogging experience? Why?
It surprised me that I enjoyed it. I thought it might be just "make it up" work. Through using blogs I have learned to embed and have learned about great blogs that I want to keep up with and have created readers, etc. I have really enjoyed it.
