The 5 Don’ts of Classroom Blogging

I have found the 5 Dont’s of Classroom Blogging which Samantha posted to be very useful when especially if teaching Blogs. The points are simple and straight forward, and I believe may make it easier for the teacher to teach their students about blogging.
The points are:

1.DON’T just dive in.

2.DON’T confuse blogging with social networking.

3.DON’T leap at the freebies.

4.DON’T force a sequential style.

5.DON’T leave the blogging to the students.

RE: Mathletics

I was made aware of the program Mathletics whilst on my last practicum, and find it a program which the kids really look forward to participating in.
I agree with Tim’s comments on Mathletics and personally think that it is a great program, as it not only allows the students to work in a different environment (not just in the classroom with pen and paper) but it also allows them to verse other students using mathletics all around the world, quite amazing !
Another positive attribute to Mathletics is that students may work on it in their homes.

I believe Mathletics is a great way to get children to enjoy mathematics, which doesn’t happen a lot!!
