Canadian Students’ Work
Now that we have looked at the work being done by students in Mr Harbeck’s class in Canada I want to to think about what you could do. What could you add to your English portfolio space or what could we start on our Maths wikispace.
Here are the links to the work we had a look at today so that you can go back and have a look at it. MakeItInteresting is the blog where we saw the slideshare portfolios. While you are there take a look at their Maths blogs. This is a record of what they have learned in Maths each day / session. Students have turns being the scribe (writer) and post what they were taught. Sounds like a good idea for us but take a look and let me know if you think it will work for us. We may have to start another blog or we could use our Maths wiki.
This is the wikispace where the students have their Maths work. Here is the link to Angelic’s page which we were quite impressed with. It would be a neat idea to leave some comments about their work. You never know you may be able to start up some on-line dialogue with them.
Here’s another link, studentblogwikitools, that you might like to look at as it has some examples of the students’ work plus some useful tools.
Now I am waiting for your ideas. Who is going to get started on our Maths wiki or blog???

Kelly, you can start whenever you like. You do have a space on our class wiki that you could use or you could do it in powerpoint or photostory. You need to think about (plan) what you are going to include, whether you want people to leave comments about your work. Maybe it is time to have a class discussion about this – you could even use your own blog for your portfolio.
Give it some thought and then get back to me.

Kelly, you need to do some investigating. Why don’t you post a comment on one of the Canadian blogs and ask them what they did?
