Blog#10

1. In the podcast i described how i will be using spreadsheets in my high school math classroom. I think they are a valuable tool in order to keep organized. I want to use them for my own use too keep track of my students grades while posting them onto a visible site for my students to see as well to keep them updated with their own progress.
2.After listening to the class podcast i have become very interested in this new tool. I think it is a great way to bring a new environment to the classroom. It is fun to have listen to everyone's own reflections and comments on the class. I will definitely use this tool in my classroom with many tools that my classmates have shared.

Blog#9 Podcast

All of my podcats i found are on itunes through Loretta Palmer, Distance Education, College Algebra, Utah Valley University.
1. Review of Intermiediate Algebra- This podcast demonstartes basic algebra tehcinques that students should have already learned in order to review and learn more in their trigonometry course. This will be an optional podcast i will offer to my students before the class begins and encourage them to watch and listen in order to be up to date on their current math skills, a small review. It will be provided on a online website that i would give to the students.
2. Rational Functions- This podcast will be my first lesson plan. After teaching verbally to the students i will plan on using this podcast to test their knoweldge of what i had jsut taught them. Rational Functions will demonstrate a division of two polynomial functions.
3. Quadratic Functions- This podcast will be my next lesson plan explaing and almost reviewing quadratic functions. The students will learn new formulas and calculator tips in order to complete further math problems
