Now that we are beginning to create our digital hubs, I am beginning to think about what I would want to include in mine. As I think more and more, my digital hub should include information about who I am, and what message I intend to send to others. As a mathematics teacher, I want to include videos and information that sends a message to other mathematics teachers that technology can be useful in their teaching.
I want to use my site as a place for students to go when they are confused and have resources available to them. I want to be able to be available to my students via twitter, blogging, and other social media. My digital space should be a place for ALL of my students to have a chance to visit and see. I want it to be easy to use and easy to get to.
The benefits of my digital hub would be for my students to gain understanding and for teachers of my subject area to browse for ideas. A few items that I want to try to include on my site are:
- Tutorials to enhance learning
- Videos of lessons for students that may have missed class
- Math website links for enhanced practice (age and grade appropriate of course)
- Math worksheets for enhanced practice
- Link to my blog for other math teachers to follow along
I am looking forward to creating my own Digital Learning Hub, although I am nervous about the difficulties ahead. I hope for a great experience!!
Hi Amy, I think it would be amazing if all math teachers had such a place for students to go to get resources, be able to ask questions from home regarding homework, and find fun challenges. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteAmy I look forward to sharing our resources for mathematics learning.
ReplyDeleteAmy, I'm really excited, and invigorated to continue along in this learning adventure with you. I think we've all got a lot to do...and we've already done a great deal. I foresee your digital learning hub as being a powerful place learning commons for your students.
