Well, as the blogging journey continues we find ourselves working more and more efficiently. We have (almost!) everybody remembering their passwords and using the correct log-in names. We continue to construct the proper criteria for a helpful and educational blog. We continue to have conversations about copyright and the use of other people's ideas and work on our own blogs. In essence, we are continually building on both our math and technology learning simultaneously each week. Both M.O and T.J had incredibly thoughtful and in-depth blog posts this week that offered some incredible websites on the Pythagorean Theorem and how/when/why it is used.

Our goal for November is photography and having students take pictures of real-life math and using those pictures on their blogs. Perhaps we can create math-related 5-card Flickrs and use our creativity as well. The connections are endless and I do want students to be able to grow and change just as the world around us continues to do. I hope to nurture those wanderers (rhizomatic learning) within our walls and curricula and have us build our purpose together.
