I am so fortunate to have a colleague who graciously gave up one of his classes to guide myself and 8A through the process of getting our blogs up and running. So, thank you to Mr. T!
As I watched the class become aquainted with the blogs it impressed me how easily and seemlessly they worked with this new program. None had ever blogged before, yet here there were changing templates, adding each other as followers, making pages and posts. Some of them found it to be quite the novelty that Google had to text them with a security code to verify their accounts! They are, without a doubt, digital natives. They do not fear the unknown of a new technology or program, they have grown up in this technologically changing and advancing world.
I hope that this blog allows us to both use technology in both transitional and transformative ways so that we can change the traditional mathematics classroom narrative. Enjoy!
