One More Month

Well, time passes in warp speed. It's just ten days till spring break and Florida. The end of the 3rd marking period also looms. It is amazing how fast time passes now. I just got back from doing my first inservice with a HS staff (math department). It was a good experience...I prefer teaching teens, but it is obvious that somethings are the same everywhere and for everyone.

I have decided to abandon Blogs in my math classes. I definitely see the benefit in Psychology and I will use them in English (if I ever teach it). However, in math there are easier ways to get students writing and to interact (even on the computer). It is a good discussion starter and a way to have comments even when everyone isn't in the same room at the same time.

So...advice to others and for myself...trying to add too much to too manny places may cause faltering (errors, missteps, etc.) Also, it's okay to change something if it doesn't work (or you aren't using it).
