This week I chose to follow:
http://adifference.blogspot.com/: Sometime listing to someone's making a speech or talks about something that you like can make a difference in your life. I have never hear of TED talks about Mathematics for math teacher. After listing to some of TED talks about Math that was provide in this blog. I found math to be more interesting and fun to learn (No wonder I always like math even until now!).
wiki.wesfryer.com: I don't know if this is only me or anyone too but I found Mac compute to be kind of complicate and hard to used sometime. However, I feel that this blog did an excellent job teaching us to convert text into audio for free. I did on my sister Mac computer and its fun and easy to follow with pictures showing and support every step to follow.
http://kimcofino.com/blog/: I found this blog to be very encouraging and understandable. I like how Blogger, Kim Cofino, used Blog as a tool to facilitate educator and student to utilize their blogs as a tools to share and connect with other and their teacher about what they are learning. I found Cofino's showcase portfolio to be very interesting. I remember taking a class this semester (summer) and have to create a showcase portfolio. How I wish I have saw this blogs earlier, so I can create my showcase portfolio by following her direction in her blog.
I like TED talks. It's a great way to learn new things. I think we had to watch a few for our LSIS 201 science class.
ReplyDeleteI watched the TED talks when we first started the blogs. I hate math, but TED talks made it seem easier.
ReplyDeleteYour last blog, http://kimcofino.com/blog/, about using blogs in class to share and connect with students. This would be an excellent way for teachers to monitor student understanding of the lessons being taught. Students could log on a regular basis and summerize what was taught in class that day! Great idea. Thanks. It's something that I may decide to use or at least try in the future!
I am ging to have o look into TED talks. I have heard about them before, but have never actually used it myself. Thanks for the resource!!
ReplyDeleteThese TED talks sound interesting, I am definitely going to have to look into them. I've never heard of them, but if there is another resource out there that makes math easier to understand I am ALL for it :D
ReplyDeleteI am not familiar with the TED blog. It sounds like somnething that is definitely worth looking into.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at how many blogs there are there on the internet.
