June 19 Final Post

This has been a great 3 days! I have learned a lot of technology that I didn't expect.

This afternoon we learned about Podcasts, and I found a great Educational Podcast Directory, which I can use in my classroom to help teach lessons.

Previously, I had written about using a math problem in a Wiki account for students to work on by adding steps to solving the problem.

Flickr is great for sharing photos with friends and family. RSS gives me a chance to access publications that I have been wanting to access but didn't have a way.

I is nice to finally know what a blog is and to have one of my own.

I have really enjoyed this class and have gained much from it.

June 19 Web20 Sesson 3

This morning we learned how to set up a Wiki account. I posted a page on my Wiki account with a math problem, which each participant could add a step to solving the problem. It could be helpful in teaching the solving of systems of equations.

I forgot to add an image. This is my wife, Miriam, my brother, Guy and myself at a Georgia Tech football game in Atlanta, Ga. :

June 18 Final Post

This afternoon we learned all about Flickr. I found that my nephew, who lives in London and my son who lives in Pennsyvania showed up as contacts with lots of pictures. I have now contacted them and added my pictures. One of the pictures I added is posted here.

An interesting web site I came across today was for the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

RSS

RSS is great! I have been wanting to read the sports pages of my hometown, Atlanta, Ga for some time, as that is the site of my college, Georgia Tech. Now I can. Also, now I don't have to have a subscription to the Wall Street Journal to get the latest business news.

Math Games

Here is a great math games site which can be used as a lesson to teach multiplication.

Web20 June 18, 2009

I am slowly catching on in this Web20 class. I really like the Del.licious account. I have a lot of math web sites I go to for lessons for my classes, and it is nice to have an organized method of pulling them up.

I have heard about Blogs for some time. It is good to know now what one is, and to have one of my own.

GWOLTZYORK BLOG

Today is June 17, 2009 and I have learned what blogging is all about. It reminds me of Facebook, in that comments from various people who log in are kept in chronic logical order, so you can look back and see what everyone wrote.

I plan to use this blog for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math TAKS tutoring to present math concepts and lessons for other teachers as well as well as students to comment on.
