finishing touches
Posted by Helen Burridge on Thursday, May 19, 2011
I have spent a hour checking through my website, making sure I haven't missed anything out. While checking out my pages I noticed a couple of error, mainly cosmetic, and fixed them up pretty quickly. I have enjoyed this unit, the hands on learning, although was very daunting at the beginning, has since become my most enjoyable units. I would like to continue with my website after this unit finishes. The text book refers to lots of differnt types of technology that could and is being used in the classroom. One of the chapters I enjoyed was chapter 9, visualising with technology. It was this chapter that gave me the idea to use Google Earth as my second resource, and after looking at Dani's lesson using Google Earth - Tsunami - it made me want to look into the site further. The lesson I decided on was on estimating distances. I used Realmaths.org. http://www.realworldmath.org/Real_World_Math/RealWorldMath.org.html and found this site to be full of fun activities. I have since introduced the website to other teachers at the school I work at via the school intranet, the year 6 teacher is going to trial it in one of his lessons.
