A teacher’s journey to improve his practice through the use of technology.
Thanks to all who came to my presentation on integrating Web 2.0 Tools in the Mathematics Classroom on Friday at the CCTM conference. Despite technology problems (ironic huh!) I think it went very well. It seemed like only the die hards stayed for the last session of the day. A special thanks to Elizabeth Allen-Hatcher for the moral support and Ann Summers for letting me borrow her computer. I hope that teachers of mathematics will begin to use the social networking tools that are out there to benefit their teaching and their own lives.
Tomorrow I am presenting at the Colorado Council of Teachers of Mathematics conference (CCTM). My presentation is on Web 2.0 tools in the teaching of mathematics. At NECC this summer many bloggers and others including Will Richardson and Bud Hunt mentioned that we (as proponents of 21st century learning and Web 2.0) need to start going to conferences that don’t center on technology to preach the benefits of using technology in the classroom. Well, this is my effort in that call to action.
Check out my presentation. Thanks if you attended my presentation, I hope it was worthwhile and that you can take something away from it to use in your classroom.
