Have you ever wanted to create short "how to" video for your students to use for homework, remembering facts, and solving math problems.
How often have your students stated, "I could not complete the homework assignment, because I could not remember the steps and no one could help me."
Well the answer is to create a screencast or video for posting on your class wiki or blog for students to view at home or anywhere else they have web access.

The primary purpose of blog is to facilitate interaction between a teacher and his or her students. This is possible because a blog is a dynamic tool which can be easily updated or transformed as necessary to meet the needs of a science or math class.
The integration of blog technology in a class requires an investment of time. Because of this commitment, additional evidence is needed to support the integration this technology in a science or math class curriculum.
