This is an awesome resource for your students and sounds right up your alley: <a href="http://www.ignitiontutoring.com" target="_blank">www.ignitiontutoring.com</a><br />
<br />
It's online tutors (via Skype) from top universities like Stanford. Their focus is on MATH but also "growth mindset" and independent learning. It's a great resource and really helps students -- check it out!

I don't have specific suggestions but *please* take a look at Professor Steven Strogatz's column in the New York Times: <a href="http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/category/steven-strogatz/" target="_blank">http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/category/steven-strogatz/</a><br />

I'm just out of high school but this is how I wish maths was taught to me. I think every teacher should read this column. I'm sure it will be of tremendous use to you. Please share it with your teacher colleagues :)

Hey Darin, I just came across your discussion. I wonder are you still using wikis and blogging with your students? I looked around your wiki and thought there was some really interesting stuff going on. I saw that the wiki was recently updated, but that the blog posts were a little older. I'm working with some teachers on blogging in the classroom and looking for examples to share and wonder if you would mind me using your examples?

Hi Darin,<br />
<br />
How are you liking pbwiki? I am trying wetpaint wiki and I am trying to figure out how to use an equation editor. I see that you have been able to embed it in your website. Was it straight forward?<br />

Thanks,<br />

I'm not sure what aged students you have - but i'm assuming they are high school students.<br />

If it's of any benefit, I have just recently set up a 'math problem of the week' page on our class wiki with my grade 5 students. At this stage, I have left it open to all students and it is optional for them to contribute any thoughts, ideas, possible solutions to the problem. This has been successful with a small group of kids, but I can now use this as an example for the rest of the class. In a few…

This has been successful with a small group of kids, but I can now use this as an example for the rest of the class. In a few weeks, I am thinking that I may set up a few problems for groups of 5 or so students to work collaboratively on to solve. When I do this i will make it compulsory to contribute in some way, but hopefully the kids will be a little more excited by the idea and they will want to contribute.

I have been using <a href="http://hausofmath.blogspot.com">blogs</a> and wikis to enhance my Algebra 3 class. I have students create a page on our wiki to review concepts that have been taught in class. They also search for tutorial links or practice websites that can help them with the material. I have been trying to get them to use things like voicethread and sketchcast to explain their solutions but it has been a struggle. They don't have the equipment (microphones) to use those tools at…

I have students create a page on our wiki to review concepts that have been taught in class. They also search for tutorial links or practice websites that can help them with the material. I have been trying to get them to use things like voicethread and sketchcast to explain their solutions but it has been a struggle. They don't have the equipment (microphones) to use those tools at home and we don't always have time at school. Feel free to check out what we have done on our <a href="http://haus.pbwiki.com">wiki</a>. Let me know what you come up with. I would like to see it. I could put you in touch with our calculus teacher and maybe your class and hers could collaborate on something. Hi All,

Hi All,<br />

I don' t know how many of you have read <a href="http://adifference.blogspot.com/">Darren Kuropatwa's blog</a>, but he is a math teacher doing some phenomenal work with students on the tools of Web 2.0. Anybody who is interested in the intersection between mathematics and Web 2.0 should certainly make themselves familiar with Darren.<br />

As a side note, I have just started a new social network site designed to discuss specific content areas and how the use of technology can best promote learning within these subject areas. I'm hoping that many more content area teachers than "techies" join this social network site. This kind of a conversation is exactly the kind of conversation that I'd like to see on the site. <a href="http://www.teachingcontent.ning.com">http://www.teachingcontent.ning.com</a>.

Hello, We are two students from a classroom 2.0 class at Millis High School. We have been looking for a teacher with some ideas to help us create a 2.0 calculus class. If you have any idea it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
