Jason+Backus

Here is the link to my Wiki...I made it for my students to create their own study guide for the final exam. The students will collaborate with their peers from other classes to create a living document that helps prepare the whole class for the final.

Thanks

 * Jason- I have to say that Math is not my favorite subject but you made me want to do some math with this awesome lesson. I loved every aspect of it. If I had a teacher like you that incorporated technology into Math when I was in high school, I know I would have loved Math and it could have possibly been my favorite subject. The student’s Weebly blog and the use of computer programs such as Microsoft Paint to color in their graphs just made this lesson in my opinion. Excellent job Jason! You made me want to learn Math and that right there is an accomplishment! :) **

 * Hi Jason, **
 * I think it is always a good idea to take a lesson you have previously taught and find ways to integrate technology. That is essentially what Instructional technology specialists advise teachers to do all the time. We often do not have time to completely recreate the wheel and it is often not necessary. I had many middle school students also choose to complete their projects using paper rather than digital tools. I have found that students are creatures of habit too and often want to use whatever they feel they will be most successful in doing or whatever they feel will be the easiest. **** I think it is wonderful that you asked for student feedback and now have an understanding of what may have contributed to the choices they made. I believe you have good ideas for the next time you teach this lesson.  **
