Waving and Wishing

Waving

I have communicated with others within my school so far, as well as with a few friends and family.  I don't particularly want it on the web, so that will not be a communication avenue that I would pursue at this time.  So far, no one has had any improvements on my invention, but I am always open to suggestions from peers.

Wishing

 I think my project went swimmingly.  The project's strengths were creating an excellent tool for organization of my math tools.  The students have enjoyed having their tools at their fingertips, and I have more instructional time.  It was challenging to actually come up with the initial idea.  I went through a number of ideas that were not cost effective or as practical.  I honestly do not know what could have been done differently.  I did my research and came up with a product that perfectly suited my instructional needs. 

Typically, a blog on the web is not something that could be utilized in my school because this type of media is not allowed via our public school server.  However, the assignment is much like what the students would experience in a media center or lab because I had to establish a problem, research an answer, and finally, create a solution to the problem.  When students enter a media center or lab, they will have to go through the same thought processes as I did.  Having this experience to be able to relate to the questions they need to ask has been very valuable.
