This is the one place where students could interact. The responses, however, were on another page. Perhaps for that, and other reasons, the students did not respond much.
This is an example of a static web
page. I provides a lot of information, and what we are studying, links
to activities, but it lacks interactivity. The conversation is largely
one-way, to the students. The page can be updated, but not as quickly
as adding posts on a blog.

If you're anywhere near NC on August 12, 2008, this would be a fantastic math workshop to attend. Focuses on gr. 2-6. Laura is an exemplary 4th gr. teacher, nationally board certified, with 26 years of experience who is a highly respected, award-winning teacher and author of 10 books for teachers. Her hands-on workshops are loaded with great math strategies, tools and original materials. I have spent time in her classroom and know she practices what she preaches with great student achievement results! You won't be disappointed!
