**http://media.photobucket.com/image/excited/spenwah/excited.jpg** ==== I am excited to be getting the opportunity to learn about and practice creating, contributing to, and helping to maintain a wiki. I believe that it will be a tool that I will use with my students on a regular basis. I think it is a terrific way to encourage divergent thinking and writing in mathematics. By asking my students to "explain their way of solving a particular problem," Through the use of a wiki, I will be encouraging my students to take risks, to appreciate the different ways to solve a problem, and to write about their math work. ====

==== Whether it is software, hardware, Internet sites, or just creative ways to use multimedia technology in the classroom; I want to learn about it all. I would love to be able to learn about, use, create and/or find new interactive multimedia materials that I can use with my students. ====

That's why I love this masters program so much!!!! We are constantly provided with ideas and technologies that we can almost immediately implement in our classrooms.

Hi Karen!! I have to say that I am NOT a math person, so at times I had no idea what you were talking about (my fault, not yours!), but everything looks really good and well put together! I do have a few suggestions for you: You may want to expand on your audience section a little bit. In the outline it said to be as specific as possible, you may want to think about adding something about different demographics. I'm sure just an additional sentence or two would be fine. Also, your content and analysis chart, Fraction Action chart, and rubric are all cut off the page. You can probably fix this by making the charts smaller, but for the rubric you can inserting a page break and changing the layout of that page (to landscape). Another thing is that on your Instructional Strategies page, I would keep the same design for your bullets every time. I guess its just a matter of preference, but I think it will look better if they are all consistent. These are all really small things and I really think it looks great! Nice job! Jillian Jillian, I appreciate your comments. I went through and elaborated on every section. I usually write/do projects in layers...expanding as I go. And I def agree with you on all of your suggestions. Thanks!!! Karen ** = =

=*Please take a look (realize that it is, by no means, finished) and give me any feedback/suggestions that you can. Thank you!=

Karen~ Your ID Plan looks really good. Don't forget about your two webspiration documents as well as you assessment rubric (you wrote "see rubric" however there is no rubric attached). Also you didn't include any video recording devices in your technical requirements. ~Cindy Thanks for the suggestions, Cindy! Did it. :) Karen **
