Technology has created exciting ways to connect with others and form professional learning networks. As a part of an active member of a social media community made up of teachers, I wanted to contact you to ask you to participate in a study our research group is conducting. <br /><br /> Research shows that face-to-face professional networks provide much needed professional and personal support to teachers. You and the community you belong to are providing these types of support using social media. We are interested in learning more about your experiences using social media to connect with other teachers and your opinions about online professional networks. <br /><br />The purpose of our study is to learn how professional learning networks created through social media are similar or different than face-to-face networks and what you feel are advantages of using social media to connect with other teachers. Our hope is that the results of this study will inform how professional networks for teachers are designed in the future. If you are interested in participating, please send an email to me at teacherblogPLN@gmail.com. I will send you a link to a short online survey and will set up time for a short skype interview.<br /><br /><br />If you have any questions you would like to ask about the study, please do not hesitate to contact me.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /> <br /><br />Kaitlyn Rudy<br />Research Assistant<br />Department of Mathematical Sciences<br />Montana Tech of the University of Montana<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246418667558765155.post-78957818222383849072014-04-16T15:05:51.615+02:002014-04-16T15:05:51.615+02:00Superb article, I think printable math sheets are ...Superb article, I think printable math sheets are very beneficial approach for kids.i think this one of the best platform for learning.We are providing Printable Math Sheets in USA.in which Practice Math Online, Practice Math Online, Online Math Practice, Math Practice Test, Basic Math Practice and many other facilities available on free of cost.Thanks for sharing this information.<br /><a href="http://www.ipracticemath.com/" rel="nofollow">7th Grade Math Practice</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596543922736382314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246418667558765155.post-28262212241343649112014-02-14T23:03:01.560+01:002014-02-14T23:03:01.560+01:00Dear Julia,

The MATHCOUNTS Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to improving that statistic. MATHCOUNTS’ third annual “ Math Video Challenge” is a math competition for 6th to 8th graders that encourages student innovation as they create and star in their own math videos, thus exciting them to pursue higher education in math.<br /><br />As the webmaster of this awesome blog, we are asking you to help support this effort by mentioning us in your next blog or forum post or promoting our logo with a link to the site. So far this contest has gathered over 500 submissions and millions of views on the videos. Our goal this year is this year is to do even better. With your help, we are confident we will reach this goal.<br /><br />For more information on MATHCOUNTS or the Math Video Challenge, visit our webpages at mathcounts.org and videochallenge.mathcounts.org/math-camera-action.<br /><br />Respectfully,<br />Jake ByrnesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246418667558765155.post-54347587935936925592013-07-29T17:59:45.642+02:002013-07-29T17:59:45.642+02:00Nice.

I get them to take out all the money they have on them and we add up the class total. Then I say we are going to take all that money and invest it in an index fund tracking the market that normally averages bewteen 6 and 10%. The last one of us still alive gets all the money and the interest. (I add some amusing rules about not killing classmates to get the money, etc...) We have to talk about some assumptions like how long the second last one of us will live, and so on. Then they run the numbers. They are shocked. Even $50 at 8% for 80 years is huge. They are excited about how rich the 95 year old last one of them alive will be.

Congrats!
I came across your blog vi...Hi, Julia,<br /><br />Congrats! <br /><br />I came across your blog via David Wees, and as a fellow mathematics educator (even though you're on leave!), I thought you might be able to help in spreading the word about an educational TV show for preteens about math that we're putting together. "The Number Hunter" is a cross between Bill Nye The Science Guy and The Crocodile Hunter -- bringing math to children in an innovative, adventurous way. I’d really appreciate your help in getting the word out about the project. <br /><br />http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/564889170/the-number-hunter-promo<br /><br />I studied math education at Jacksonville University and the University of Florida. It became clear to me during my studies why we’re failing at teaching kids math. We're teaching it all wrong! Bill Nye taught kids that science is FUN. He showed them the EXPLOSIONS first and then the kids went to school to learn WHY things exploded. Kids learn about dinosaurs and amoeba and weird ocean life to make them go “wow”. But what about math? You probably remember the dreaded worksheets. Ugh. <br /><br />I’m sure you know math is much more exciting than people think. Fractal Geometry was used to create “Star Wars” backdrops, binary code was invented in Africa, The Great Pyramids and The Mona Lisa, wouldn’t exist without geometry.<br />Our concept is to create an exciting, web-based TV show that’s both fun and educational.<br /><br />If you could consider posting about the project on your blog, I’d very much appreciate it. Also, if you'd be interested in link exchanging (either on The Number Hunter site, which is in development, or on StatisticsHowTo.com which is a well-established site with 300,000 page views a month) please shoot me an email. We're also always looking for input and ideas from other math educators!<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your help,<br /><br />Stephanie<br />andalepublishing@gmail.com<br />http://www.thenumberhunter.com<br />http://www.statisticshowto.com<br />http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/564889170/the-number-hunter-promo<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750774889132999541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246418667558765155.post-38205503763028467212013-02-06T03:40:12.082+01:002013-02-06T03:40:12.082+01:00Oh Julia, I'm so happy for you!

Where I teach, procedural teaching is most of what students see because that is what will lead to high test scores. When students are asked to think, explore and analyze, frustration takes over and students give up before they have even begun. It is very sad to think we as teachers have led to this and I wonder how some of our students are going to survive after high school. I liked the strategies that were given and will definitely try them in my classroom. Change can be made, but it is a process that takes time.
